Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the history of Old English sounds by examining certain problems in the language's development, arguing against some hypotheses and refining others. The author draws on evidence from a trio of early Old English texts; the Vespasian Psalter, and the Epinal and Erfurt glossaries, with the occasional inclusion of evidence from other sources. Unlike most books on the subject that rely on literary sources written in West Saxon, the most standardised and prestigious dialect of Old English, this book draws on a range of sources revealing the diversity of Old English dialects. The author studies the effects of i -umlaut, palatal umlaut, and contraction, contextualising them within the broader history of the Germanic languages, especially Old High German and Old Saxon which offer parallel developments. This book will appeal to scholars interested in the development of the English language, particularly its earliest stages. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781333916626_0
