Sommario/riassunto

Prosody in Medieval English and Norse reconstructs aspects of linguistic prosody from the medieval records of two closely related languages: English and Norse. Evidence from a series of case studies points to continuity in the internal rhythms of words in these languages, especially the enduring role of the bimoraic trochee.
