		It is a classic observation of English syntax that the position of English direct objects with respect to verb particles is sensitive to whether the object is a pronoun.
		Bolinger (1971: 39–41) notes that the constraint can be overridden by accent on the pronoun licensed by contrastive focus or deixis, so that the constraint is not absolutely determined by whether the phrase consists only of a personal pronoun.
		Even though independent possessive pronouns always occur as the sole content of the phrase, they do not count as "pronouns" in the sense relevant to the constraint on object placement.

		The clitics are morphologically reduced pronouns, with a special syntax, whose main characteristic is the displacement to a position adjacent to a verbal form.
		The strong pronouns behave essentially like noun phrases: they have the same positions in the clause as a noun phrase, and they can be conjoined and stressed.
		At the clause level, Swedish uses the case distinctions of personal pronouns to indicate whether a noun phrase with a pronominal head is the subject (nominative case) or the object (oblique case); the oblique form is also used after prepositions.

		Thus it would appear that our aim of analysing the process of linguistic change of the three nominal morphological features of the aforementioned north-western dialect has benefited from the application of frequential and inferential calculations to data obtained from the corpus of spoken language on which our study is based.
		In the case of the linguistic variables corresponding to the weak pronouns of the first person plural and feminine possessive adjectives, we have worked with descriptive statistics.
		Morphological aspects, treated quantitatively, are in a position of advanced substitution in the case of the definite article (lo, los), singular weak pronouns (me, te, se) and the first person plural weak pronoun (mos), and in a position of alternation insofar as concerns feminine possessive adjectives (meua, teua, seua / meva, teva, seva).
