Description
Summary:<p><strong>ON THE SYLLABLE INTONATION OF OPR. <em>-ing-</em></strong> </p><p><em>Summary</em></p><p>The difference in syllable intonation between the circumflex of OPr. <em>-īng-</em> and the acute of Lith. <em>-</em><em>ì</em><em>ng-</em>, Latv. <em>-îg-</em> could be explained by the fact that these suffixes acquired stress relatively recently in the separate languages. In Lithuanian it became stressed as a result of Saussure-Fortunatov’s law, i.e. in the period when syllable intonations were distinguished in both stressed and unstressed syllables, whereas the stress of OPr. <em>-īng-</em> might be posterior to a possible neutralisation of syllable intonations in unstressed syllables. Alternatively, at least some of the attested OPr. examples with <em>-īng-</em> can be interpreted as contracted from forms with <em>-īwing-</em>, cf. <em>wertīngs</em> : <em>wertīwings</em>.</p>
