Populærvitenskapelig sammendrag av avhandlingen:
Many Norwegian varieties distinguish between two contrastive accentual melodies known as accent 1 and accent 2. This dissertation deals with this contrast in Tromsø Norwegian, and how the distribution of the tonal accents in the vocabulary is shaped by word formation processes. In order to get an overview, the tonal accent of many constructions that can be subsumed under the umbrella term "compounding" have been investigated. A comparison with other tonal varieties of Norwegian is also been made so as to see how the Tromsø Norwegian system is different. This dissertation shows that many core aspects of the tonal accent distribution can be predicted on the basis of certain phonological characteristics and of properties of the word formation processes. If a word has a tonal accent that cannot be predicted, it means that the tonal accent has to be stored as an inherent property of the word in question.
