Sobre la cantidad silábica y su importancia para el estudio de la evolución histórica del acento no verbal en la transición del latín al español by Fernando Martínez-Gil

“…Este trabajo tiene dos metas principales: a) presentar evidencia diacrónica de que la cantidad silábica ha estado activa en toda la evolución histórica del español; y b) demostrar que la interdependencia entre el peso de la penúltima sílaba y el locus del acento, ya presente en latín, continuó siendo un factor determinante en la asignación del acento no verbal desde el período formativo hasta la apocope medieval, en que el acento oxítono quedó condicionado por una sílaba final pesada, estableciéndose así la pauta característica del acento nominal no marcado en el español actual. …”
