Résumé
There is a common belief that, in Vulgar Latin, a stress shift from antepenultimate to penultimate took place in words like tenebrae, but this does not mean that the syllabification was then te-neb-rae, since the Romance evidence also indicates an open syllable, cf. palpebram > fr. paupière. Nevertheless in 2005, Michele Loporcaro claimed that, in some South Italian dialects, the situation is different : the vowel before muta cum liquida behaves like the vowel in a closed syllable, and the same happened in Proto-Romance. The purpose of the present article is to criticize Loporcaro’s view.
