Subject:  phonology of Italian borrowings in English

Does anyone know of any trisyllabic Italian borrowings in English, stressed
on the second syllable and with a first syllable CCV or CCVC, in which the V
is not now schwa? I am particularly interested in borrowings during the
renaissance, but any examples will be wecome. Not being a phonologist, I
would would greatly appreciate any suggestions, and will notify them to the
list. Thanks, Rod McConchie, University of Helsinki.

I'm looking for literature or any kind of information about this issue:
in all romance languages you find the order neg + debere + Infinitive
as  obligatory order, but in classic latin you could have also the order
debere + neg + Infinitive. Why and when became the order neg + debere +
Infinitive in passing from latin to romance obligatory? This phenomenon
is known as "obligatory neg-raising". If anyone has knowledge of
researches in this issues, dissertations, corpus-based analysis etc.
please contact me!!!
