Summary/Abstract: This article takes the view that the general accentuation rules in Croatian permit failing accents only on noninitial syllablas of the word. Owing to reasons of linguistic development, this phenomenon is relatively infrequent and, though possible, is felt to be marginal. Such accentuation is fully acceptable in loanwords since it singles them out readily, without disturbing the rhythmics of the sentence.
