It also illustrates the original territory of the East Saxons, and throws light on the Anglo-Saxon invasion in prehistoric times.

Download or read book Long Vowel Shifts in English c 1050 1700 written by Gjertrud Flermoen Stenbrenden and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2016-03-11 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The English language has undergone many sound changes in its long history. Some of these changes had a profound effect on the pronunciation of the language. A number of these significant instances of language evolution are generally grouped together and termed the 'Great Vowel Shift'. These changes are generally considered to be unrelated to other, similar long-vowel changes taking place a little earlier. This book assesses an extensive range of irregular Middle English spellings for all these changes, with a view to identifying the real course of events: the dates, the chronology, and the dialects that stand out as being innovative. Using empirical evidence to offer a fresh perspective and drawing new, convincing conclusions, Stenbrenden offers an interpretation of the history of the English language which may change our view of sound change completely.
