Fallacy of accent

[1][2][3] The fallacy has also been extended to grammatical ambiguity caused by missing punctuation.

(Ἆρά γ´ ἐστὶ τὸ οὗ καταλύεις οἰκία; Ναί.)

(Ἔφησας δ´ εἶναι τὸ οὗ καταλύεις οἰκίαν· ἡ οἰκία ἄρα ἀπόφασις.

)The fallacy turns here on the varying pronunciation of ου, meaning "where" in the first and third occurrences, and "not" in the second.

[5] Aristotle noted that fallacies of this form were rare in contemporary Greek.
