Вопрос №7 The system of OE vowels. Stressed and unstressed vowels.



I. The system of OE vowels

There were 5 short monophtongs: I; e (э) ; u; o; a. There were an opposition bet æ and æ –one and the same

6 long monophthongs: i e; ae; u   o: a

3 long diphtongs: io: eo: ea

E – eo; I – as a result of breaking

Vowels were pronounced the way they were written with the exception of [ a ] – a nasal

                                                                                    [y,y] – a rounded v.

The change begins with the growing variation in pronunciation which was followed by the appearance of numerous allophones. Most often the change will involve both types of replacement – splitting and merging. So we deal both with the rising if new phonemes and with the redistribution of new allophones among the existing phonemes. They are:

Non-assimilated changes

NA changes – independent or spontaneous changes.

NA changes of vowels in OE were:

1) process of discrepancy:

palatalization (fronting) and splitting - (the 5 century) when some ger monothongs gave forms of OE vowels

  oa
a: æ a æ
  O:   a

2) The development of diphthongs a+u=[ea]

In IE vowels transformed into diph e+u=eo; i=u+io

Assimilated changes

Assimilated changes were positional. They were combinative changes. They were changes of 2 types.

1. breaking (преломление) in the 6-th century (transforming of the front monoth into a diph) and diphthongization was caused by consonants (l, ll, l+cons, r+cons: e-ea;eo. ).

2. palatal mutation (передняя переглосовка) 6-7 cent was caused by the neighboring vowels. (h-glottal: mus-mys-mouse) the most striking change when this diph ie it resulted y (и,ю)

Вопрос №8-11 Independent vowel changes in OE. Development of monoth

I. The system of OE vowels

There were 9 short monophtongs: I; e (э) ; u; o; a; y; æ; a; oe.
