Abstract


An analysis of the ancient testimonies concerning the Latin accent reveals the meaning of the terminology used by the ancient Roman authors. The absence of accent, non accent, was called «grave». «Circumflex» was used to mean the accent located on the first mora of a long vowel (falling accent). «Acute» had three meanings: 1) any kind of accent, 2) the accent on a short vowel, 3) the accent on the second mora of a long vowel (level accent).
