In OE stress as

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:
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]

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

unstressed final syllables is an important mark of ME.

Слайд 9It distinguishes ME on the one hand from OE with

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

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]

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.

In OE quantity was the main basis of correlation

in the vowel system: short vowels were opposed to long

ones.

Слайд 16Vowel 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.

One of the most important sound changes of the Early

ME period was the loss of OE diphthongs and the

growth of new ones.

and short.
a new set of diphthongs developed from some

sequence of vowels and consonants due to the vocalization of OE [j] and [g/h].
