Excerpt: ... sibilation commenced on English ground, thus French nature pronounced with hard /, in England, first became na-tyur, and finally na-tshur, and soldier was first changed into soldyer and finally into solJzher. 32. The process of assibilation was not entirely foreign to the Anglo-Saxon before the Norman conquest. Either immediately before, or very soon after this event, we find the Saxon words ceaf, cealk, ceat, cearl, ceosan, ciern, cyst, cyrice, cyn, cicen, cidan, cild (it must be noticed that the Anglo-Saxon c was pronounced like k) assibilated into chaff, chalk, cheat, churl, choose, churn, chest, church, chirm, chicken, chide, child. This assibilation took place in the usual manner. E in the diphthongs ea and co was hardened into y after the guttural c or k. Yfirst weakened k into t, and finally became itself assibilated into sh (of this we have an instance in the forms feccan and fetian to fetch); hence the sound tsh in chaff, &c. This sibilation of k before ea and co afterwards extended to those cases where it was followed by y and i, and subsequently also reduced the French ch=sh to the same standard as in chafe, chain, chamber, chance, change, charm, chaste, chief, choice, &c. rem.--It is a mooted point among the grammarians whether the French ch originally sounded tsh and afterwards dropped the t, or whether it sounded sh from the very first. In case it sounded like tsh at first, and dropped the t afterwards, we need not assume that the Anglo-Saxon ch extended its pronunciation to the French words, but, on the contrary, there would be reason to suppose that the French ch imprinted its pronunciation on the Anglo-Saxon c. This, indeed, is held by Dr. Ripp (Physiologie d. Sprache, vol. ii, page 90), while Prof. Diez asserts...

This book was released on 2006-07-18 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2003 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 2,3, University of Cologne (Englisches Seminar), course: Hauptseminar: Writing Systems, language: English, abstract: Phonological developments in English after the standardization of the orthography and their consequences for the relationship between phonology and orthographyThis essay first explains what sound change is and then describes differences between Middle English and New English concerning consonant and especially vowel patterns due to the Great English Vowel Shift. Then the standardization of the orthography and phonological changes after the 17th century are discussed. Finally, the results of these changes for the relationship between phonology and orthography today are depicted. Sound change is referred to modifications in the language that lead to the introduction or loss of phonological elements (Lehmann 1992: 183). Sound change means a modification of distinctive features of the phonemes (Lehmann 1992: 191). Today sound changes are mostly indicated by means of distinctive features rather than by means of rules as it was in earlier times, because an indication by means of distinctive features is more precise. Generally, a sound can change in its place or manner of articulation, in the position of the velum or in its glottal articulation (Lehmann 1992: 191-193). Furthermore, changes may take place in the characteristic features of a vowel, i.e. in the degree of vowel opening, in the degree of fronting or in the labial articulation (Lehmann 1992: 193-194). A sound change can either be conditioned or unconditioned. Within a conditioned change an allophone of a phoneme changes only in a specific environment and stays the same in all others, whereas within an unconditioned change, a phoneme changes in all possible environments, which happens very seldom (Lehmann 1992: 190-191). Simple treatments of sound changes are normally unrealistic, i.e. to assume that all phonemes /x/ have become /y/ at time z (Lehmann 1992: 190). Usually a tabloid which shows that each phoneme /x/ became /y/ and each phoneme /y/ became /z/ depicts only the most common cases. But often a change is restricted to a certain environment and does not take place in others. Changes can be interpreted as addition, as alteration or as loss of a feature. Accordingly, when changes are described by rules they are described as rule addition, rule loss or rule recording. (Lehmann 1992: 204-205). A “sound change only occurs when there is a disruption of the phonological system”. This disruption may take place by two mechanisms, either by merger or by split. [...]

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can ghoti really be pronounced fish? Why is "o" short in glove and love, but long in rove and cove? Why do English words carry such extra baggage as the silent "b" in doubt, the silent "k" in knee, and the silent "n" in autumn? And why do names like Phabulous Phoods and Hi-Ener-G stand out? Addressing these and many other questions about letters and the sounds they make, this engaging volume provides a comprehensive analysis of American English spelling and pronunciation. Venezky illuminates the fully functional system underlying what can at times be a bewildering array of exceptions, focusing on the basic units that serve to signal word form or pronunciation, where these units can occur within words, and how they relate to sound. Also examined are how our current spelling system has developed, efforts to reform it, and ways that spelling rules or patterns are violated in commercial usage. From one of the world's foremost orthographic authorities, the book affords new insight into the teaching of reading and the acquisition and processing of spelling sound relationships.

This book was released on 2011-01-27 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "English is so illogical!" It is generally believed that English is a language of exceptions. For many, learning to spell and read is frustrating. For some, it is impossible... especially for the 29% of Americans who are functionally illiterate. But what if the problem is not the language itself, but the rules we were taught? What if we could see the complexity of English as a powerful tool rather than a hindrance? --Denise Eide Uncovering the Logic of English challenges the notion that English is illogical by systematically explaining English spelling and answering questions like "Why is there a silent final E in have, large, and house?" and "Why is discussion spelled with -sion rather than -tion?" With easy-to-read examples and anecdotes, this book describes: - the phonograms and spelling rules which explain 98% of English words - how English words are formed and how this knowledge can revolutionize vocabulary development - how understanding the reasons behind English spelling prevents students from needing to guess The author's inspiring commentary makes a compelling case that understanding the logic of English could transform literacy education and help solve America's literacy crisis. Thorough and filled with the latest linguistic and reading research, Uncovering the Logic of English demonstrates why this systematic approach should be as foundational to our education as 1+1=2.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We often see that people in India and some other regions speak in their way others fail to understand or hardly come to the sense of the speech. Why is this? The reason behind is that there is a lack of uniformity in pronunciation of their words. Well, one is not free to speak one’s own pronunciation. There must be uniformity in the matter of pronunciation of English words at least in a certain region. Keeping this in view, I made consistent efforts for several years to collect the rules concerned to add some uniformity to the subject. And based on the depth study of advanced dictionaries of international fame, I found out 41 rules of pronunciation which I assembled all them and composed of this book. Well, knowledge of English is regarded as an index of education, and the ability to speak English correctly is regarded as an index of good schooling. Without knowledge of English, the education of a literate person may seem to be interrogated. Now learning English is an ever-growing demand. And speaking English correctly is a social requirement as well. While we speak of spoken English, we are afraid of the correct pronunciation of the words coming to our tongue. To help readers learn pronunciation of English words, I made an intensive research; went through lots of dictionaries of international fame, found out some general rules, assembled all them and asked one to follow (illustrative not exhaustive). First, I would like to make it clear that sound and pronunciation are not the same things. Both are somewhat different things. The sound of a particular word depends on our lung, tongue, larynx and pharynx. It also depends upon climatic condition and geographical spheres. While human mechanism is capable of producing many sounds of a single word, the pronunciation of a particular word is fixed for all and included in almost all dictionaries of international fame. There exists no single form of pronunciation which alone can be regarded as correct. The pronunciation fixed by Prof. R. K. Bansal of the University of English and Foreign Languages, Hyderabad and Prof. A. C. Gimson of the University of London may differ from that of Collins Dictionary (Primitive/pristine). However, some general rules have been fixed for better learning. Table of Contents 1. Preface 2. Foreword 3. Introduction 4. A Piece of Research Work 5. Speak with Correct Pronunciation 6.
