: (En) There are two preterit-stem formations in Baltic: *ā-preterit and *ē-preterit. The *ē-preterit includes a category called “long-vowel preterit” that is characterized by the long root vowel. There are at least two hypotheses regarding their origin. First, it has been proposed that these long-vowel preterits may have originated from the imperfect form of Narten presents. Then, it has been suggested that long root vowels were introduced through Stang-Larsson’s rule operating on a variant of the Baltic preterit suffix *-ìyā-, where a preceding vowel was lengthened and received a circumflex tone in a sequence *-V-ìyā-. The second hypothesis explains the tone variation of the verbs in the root structure ◦ERK-, ◦EUK-, and ◦ĒK- (e.g., spręsti (an acute / circumflex tone on -ę-), spréndžia/spreñdžia, spréndė/spreñdė ‘to stretch’ < *(s)prend-). However, this is valid only when the suffix is accented, although the environment for the disyllabic suffix (-ìyā-) must be unaccented according to Sievers-Edgerton’s law. What follows is that the disyllabic suffix originated in the root-accented long-vowel preterits, while the verbs with tone variation probably accepted the disyllabic -ìyā-,so that Stang-Larsson’s rule later operated on them. Interestingly, some of these have a historical relationship with Narten presents, according to a previous study. This article presents the different historical developments of at least two groups of verbs that form the long-vowel preterits through an examination of the accentuation of these verbs.

The starting point for our considerations on the development of the Baltic preterite is the Old Lithuanian preterite /istira:/ ‘found out’, etymologically connected to týrė ‘examined’. In form, /istira:/ and týrė match the Old Church Slavonic otьre (thematic aorist) and trь (sigmatic aorist). This, in turn, is an argument for the hypothesis proposed by Daniel Petit (2004) on the origin of the lengthening in the Baltic preterite. The second part of this paper discusses the traces of a coexistence of inflected aspect (based on the contrast of the past tenses of aorist : imperfect) and derivational aspect (based on the opposition of perfective : imperfective) in Lithuanian.

According to Pedersen’s law, the accent was retracted in Lith. acc.sg. dukterį ‘daughter’ < *dukterim , Greek θυγατέρα, and similar word forms. A reconsideration of the Balto-Slavic accent laws opened the way to explain the origin of Dybo’s “dominant” suffixes on the basis of Derksen’s end-stressed paradigms. Generalization of the Low tone of pretonic syllables to barytone forms of mobile accent paradigms gave rise to Olander’s “unaccented word-forms” with distinctive Low tone on the initial syllable. The rise of distinctive tone in Slavic originated from the extension of Pedersen’s law. In East Baltic, tonal contours came into being when the stress was retracted from prevocalic *‑i‑ and final *‑a , yielding a rising tone that caused metatony in the preceding syllable. The rise of tonal contours in East Baltic has an interesting parallel in the development of the Franconian tone accents. Unlike Lithuanian and Latvian, Prussian had a quantitative but no tonal distinction in the vowel system.
