Bakre r i svenskan. En alternativ hypotes

På svenska

Author

Summary, in English

The sound values of /z/ and /r/ in proto-Nordic are discussed. It is suggested that the modern Swedish [r] and [R] are different results in different areas of the merger between /z/ and /r/ in Old Swedish, depending on the distribution of stress in polysyllabic words.



The article is a shorter version of Teleman, U. (2005), Om r-fonemets historia i Svenskan (Nordlund 5). Insittutionen för nordiska språk. Lund.
