In OE stress as

a rule was on the 1-st syllable of the word,

rarely on the second syllable.

Слайд 3In ME period the word stress acquired greater positional freedom

and began to play a more important role in word

derivation. These changes were connected with the assimilation of the loan words (especially from French).

retained their original stress – on the ultimate syllable. This

kind of stress couldn’t be preserved for long.

Слайд 6 Vowel Changes Unstressed vowels:
In Early ME the pronunciation of unstressed syllables

became increasingly indistinct. In OE there were 5 short vowels

in an unstressed position [e, I, a, o, V]

Слайд 7Late ME had only 2 vowels: [q] and [i]
OE fiscas

– ME fishes ['fISqz]
OE rison – ME risen ['rIzqn]

Late ME had only 2 vowels: [q] and [i]OE fiscas – ME fishes ['fISqz]OE rison – ME

Слайд 8The occurrence of only two vowels [q] and [i] in

unstressed final syllables is an important mark of ME.

its greater variety of unstressed vowels, and, on the other

hand, from New English when ME final [q] was dropped.

Слайд 10The final [q] disappeared in Late ME but it continued

to be spelt as e. In the London dialect of

Chaucer’s time it was unstable. It could be easily missed out before the following initial vowel or when required by rhythm.

understood as means of showing the length of the vowel

in the preceding syllable and was added to the

Слайд 13But new unstressed vowels appeared in borrowed words or developed

from stressed ones, as a result of various changes:
e.g. vocalization

of [r]
writer [er]  [q]
actor [or]  [q]
But new unstressed vowels appeared in borrowed words or developed from stressed ones, as a result of

Слайд 14 Stressed Vowels:
Stressed vowels changed in quality and in quantity. Not

a single OE monophthong or diphthong remained unchanged in the

course of history.

Stressed Vowels: Stressed vowels changed in quality and in quantity. Not a single OE monophthong or

Слайд 15Long vowels were the most changeable and historically unstable. They

had a strong tendency to become narrower and to diphthongize,

but short vowels displayed a reverse trend – towards greater openness.

Слайд 16 Quantitative Changes:
In OE quantity was the main basis of correlation

in the vowel system: short vowels were opposed to long

ones.

Слайд 17Vowel length was an inherited feature as OE short vowels

developed from PG short vowels. In late OE and Early

ME vowel length began to depend on phonetic condition.

the preceding long vowels short (11-th

Слайд 203. Short vowels became long in open syllables (mainly [e],

[a], [o]) (12-th – 13-th c.)
OE open > ME open

OE namu > ME name ['nRmq]

1. OE [y], [y:] disappeared in ME merging with

various sounds in different dialects:

long monophthongs became closer)

Слайд 26 Diphthongs
One of the most important sound changes of the Early

ME period was the loss of OE diphthongs and the

growth of new ones. OE diphthongs were contracted to monophthongs:

Слайд 29As a result of these changes the vowel system lost

two sets of diphthongs, long and short. A new set

of diphthongs developed from some sequence of vowels and consonants due to the vocalization of OE [j] and [ɣ].
As a result of these changes the vowel system lost two sets of diphthongs, long and short.

Слайд 30These sounds between and after vowels changed into [i] and

[u] formed diphthongs together with the preceding vowels.
E.g. OE dxZ

> ME day [daI]

These sounds between and after vowels changed into [i] and [u] formed diphthongs together with the preceding

Слайд 31These changes gave rise to two sets of diphthongs with

i – glides and

u – glides.

Слайд 33 Evolution of Consonants

English consonants were far more stable than vowels.



Evolution of Consonants English consonants were far more stable than vowels.

Слайд 34The most important developments in the history of English consonants

were the development of affricates and sibilants. In OE there

were no affricates and no sibilants except [s, z].

Слайд 35The new type of consonants developed from OE palatal plosives

[k', g'] and from [sk']. The three new phonemes were

[C], [G], [S] (in writing - ch, tch, g, dg, sh, ssh, sch)
