Denne artikkelen granskar sambandet mellom trykkplassering i latinske lånord (som butikk) og partikkelverb (som gå ut), der trykkplasseringa på fyrstestavinga eller sistestavinga varierer. Med di partikkelverb har ein del av variasjon som skriv seg frå innomspråklege strukturelle faktorar, reknar me med at desse faktorane ikkje påverkar latinske ord i like stor grad. Ved å granska ikkje-syntaktisk ...
