Table 3: distribution of stress pattern according to the preceding segment (consonants)<br />

Some data are clearly affected by morphology. Cf. the high number of words ending in //,<br />
//, //:<br />
(23) polpettina<br />
‘meatball-DIM’<br />
cartellino<br />
‘small card’<br />
balconcino<br />
‘balcony-DIM’<br />
Experiment: the 8 native speakers where asked to read made-up words ending in ino and ine<br />
preceded by /t/, /l/, /r/, /d/, /m/, /d/. (No cue was given as to gender/number). No speaker was<br />
asked to read the same pair; i.e. the same stimulus was presented either ending in ino or in ine<br />
to each subject. The results were quite straightforward, in particular for certain contexts:<br />

I then observed the preceding segment in proparoxytonic words ending in /V/, /V/,<br />
/V/. The only ending displaying two clearly dominating patterns was /V/:<br />
