1. Old English Vowels 
 and Consonants.The Old English sound system, consisting of vowels and

sound system, consisting of vowels and consonants, developed from

the PG (Proto-Germanic) system.
Old English vowels are divided into

monophthongs and diphthongs. They could be long and short.

The

diphthongs are: ea eo ie io
ēā ēō īē īō
In

OE there existed a parallelism between short and long vowels (except for a). In the diphthong the 2nd element was more open than the first.

 The system of consonants in OE manifested the following peculiarities.
 1. The consonants were

following peculiarities. 1. The consonants were divided into:
labial (губные)

sounds – p, b, m, w, f, v;
velar (задненёбные)

and palatal (нёбные) – k, h, g, ɣ, j;
dental (зубные) – t, d, r, l, n, s, z, θ,ð.

CONSONANTS2. The absence of affricates (аффрикаты) and sibilants (свистящие, шипящие).3. Dependence of the quality of

(свистящие, шипящие).
3. Dependence of the quality of the consonants

on the environment (окружение) in the word:
a) phonemes, denoted by

the letters f, þ (ð), s could be voiced or voiceless. They were voiced in the intervocal position. This position could be made up of a vowel and a voiced consonant.

 	4. Double consonants were read as long: settian [t:], steppan [p:].	5. Instead of doubled

[t:], steppan [p:].
5. Instead of doubled ʒ, cʒ was

written: lecʒan [g’:] (положить)
6. The prefix ʒe- was read as

[je] and did not influence the pronunciation of the following consonant: ʒeseʒlian [je 'sejlian].

2. Phonetic Changes in Old English Vowels.	The phonetic changes in the vowels system were qualitative

changes in the vowels system were qualitative (качественные) and

quantitative (количественные).
The qualitative changes are
*fracture (breaking) (преломление)
*palatalization (палатализация)
*mutation/umlaut (умлаут)



Слайд 10 FRACTURE
OE fracture is diphthongization of short vowels before

FRACTURE	OE fracture is diphthongization of short vowels before certain consonant clusters (кластеры, группы). æ >ea

certain consonant clusters (кластеры, группы).
æ >ea before

‘r +consonant’, ‘l+consonant’, ‘h+consonant’ and before final h:
ærm>earm ‘arm’,

æld>eald ‘old’, æhta>eahta ‘eight’, sæh>seah ‘saw’.

FRACTUREe>eo before the clusters ‘r, l, h+consonant’, and h final: 	herte>heorte ‘heart’, melcan>meocan ‘milk’(v), selh>seolh

h final:
herte>heorte ‘heart’, melcan>meocan ‘milk’(v), selh>seolh ‘seal’, feh>feoh

‘cattle’, ‘property’.
The essence of fracture is that the front vowels

are partially assimilated to the following hard consonant by forming a glide, which combines with the vowel to form a diphthong.

Слайд 12 PALATALIZATION
Palatalization is diphthongization after palatal consonants [j,k] and

Слайд 13 MUTATION (UMLAUT)
Mutation is the change of one vowel

MUTATION (UMLAUT)Mutation is the change of one vowel to another through the influence of a

to another through the influence of a vowel in

the succeeding syllable (последующий слог).
It was of three types:
1)

i-mutation (palatal mutation)
2) back mutation
3) mutation before h



Слайд 14 I-MUTATION
The most important type of mutation is that

I-MUTATION	The most important type of mutation is that caused by an i (j) of the

caused by an i (j) of the following syllable.

Let’s study the mechanism of i-mutation, taking the change fullian>fyllan

‘fill’ as an example. The vowel u is articulated by raising the back of the tongue together with rounding the lips. The sound i requires raising the front of the tongue.

Слайд 15 I-MUTATION
When the speaker begins to articulate the u,

I-MUTATION	When the speaker begins to articulate the u, he at the same time anticipates (предвидеть)the

he at the same time anticipates (предвидеть)the articulation needed

for i and raises the front of the tongue instead

of its back. The lip-rounding is preserved. The result is the vowel y.


Слайд 16 BACK MUTATION
Another type of mutation was caused by

BACK MUTATIONAnother type of mutation was caused by a back vowel (a, o, u) of

a back vowel (a, o, u) of the following

syllable. The essence of it is the following. The articulation

of the back vowel is anticipated in the preceding front vowel, which accordingly develops into a diphthong.

Слайд 17 BACK MUTATION
These are the examples of back-mutation:
i>io hira>hiora (heora)‘their’,

BACK MUTATIONThese are the examples of back-mutation:i>io	hira>hiora (heora)‘their’, sifon>siofon ‘seven’e>eo	herot>heorot ‘heart’a>ea		saru>searu ‘armour’

sifon>siofon ‘seven’
e>eo herot>heorot ‘heart’
a>ea saru>searu ‘armour’


Слайд 18 MUTATION BEFORE h
There’s no satisfactory explanation for the

MUTATION BEFORE h	There’s no satisfactory explanation for the essence of this type of mutation. This

essence of this type of mutation. This is an

example of such a change.
naht>neaht, nieht, niht, nyht ‘night’
It may

be due to a palatal quality of the h or due to an i which was probably a case ending (падежное окончание) in the original type of declension (склонение) to which the word belonged.

Слайд 19 Quantitative Changes in OE Vowels
Quantitative changes in

Quantitative Changes in OE Vowels 	Quantitative changes in OE vowels are represented by lengthening. 	Lengthening

OE vowels are represented by lengthening.
Lengthening took place

in certain positions in the 9th century.
1. Vowels are lengthened

before the clusters ld, nd, mb:
cild>cīld ‘child’
bindan>bīndan ‘bind’
climban>clīmban ‘climb’
But if the cluster was followed by another consonant, lengthening did not take place, as in cildru ‘children’.

Слайд 20 LENGTHENING

2. It took place if some consonants

LENGTHENING 2. It took place if some consonants were lost.a) The vowels were lengthened when

were lost.
a) The vowels were lengthened when ʒ was

lost before d,n.
sæʒde>sǣde ‘said’
mæʒden>mǣden ‘maiden’
b) The vowels were

lengthened when m,n were lost before f, s, Þ, h.
bronhte>brōhte ‘brought’, finf>fīf ‘five’, uns>ūs ‘us’, onÞer>ōÞer ‘other’.

Слайд 21 LENGTHENING
3. Lengthening took place in case of contraction

LENGTHENING3. Lengthening took place in case of contraction (стяжение). If, after a consonant had dropped,

(стяжение). If, after a consonant had dropped, two vowels

met inside a word, they usually contracted into one long

vowel.
ah+vowel>eah+vowel>ea
slahan>sleahan>slēāh ‘slay’ (бить, избивать)
eh, ih+vowel>eoh+vowel>eo sehan>seohan>sēōn ‘see’
oh+vowel>o fohan>fōn ‘catch’

*palatalization
*assimilation.


Слайд 23 Voicing and Devoicing of Fricatives
In OE the fricatives

Voicing and Devoicing of FricativesIn OE the fricatives f, s, Þ were subjected (подверглись) to

f, s, Þ were subjected (подверглись) to a process

of voicing and devoicing. They became voiced intervocally – between

vowels, sonorants and voiced consonants. In other positions they remained voiceless.
weorÞan – (становиться) [ð],
wearÞ (стал) - [θ]


Слайд 24 Palatalization

PalatalizationThe velar consonants [k, g, g:, х] were palatalized before a front vowel and approached

palatalized before a front vowel and approached (приближаться) affricates

in Late OE.
k>k’>ʧ cild ‘child’
sk>sk’>ʃ scip ‘ship’
g(g:)>g’(g:’)>dʒ senʒean ‘singe’


brycʒ ‘bridge’

Слайд 25 Assimilation
Assimilation is a process when two adjacent consonants

AssimilationAssimilation is a process when two adjacent consonants within a word influence each other in

within a word influence each other in such a

way that the articulation of one sound becomes similar to

or identical with the articulation of the other one.
For example,
fm>mm wifman>wimman ‘woman’;
fn>mn efn>emn ‘even’

Слайд 26 Quantitative Сhanges of OE Consonants
These include
* loss

Quantitative Сhanges of OE Consonants These include* loss of consonants:a) syncopation (синкопа)b) simplification (упрощение)*metathesis (метатеза)*gemination

of consonants:
a) syncopation (синкопа)
b) simplification (упрощение)
*metathesis (метатеза)
*gemination (геминация, удвоение)


Слайд 27 Syncopation
Syncopation is shortening of a word through

Syncopation Syncopation is shortening of a word through the loss of a sound in the

the loss of a sound in the middle of

the word e.g.:

friʒnan>frinan ‘ask’
sehan>seahan>seon ‘see’


Слайд 28 Simplification
Simplification is shortening at the beginning of a

SimplificationSimplification is shortening at the beginning of a word. H is lost in hl, hr:hlaford

word. H is lost in hl, hr:

hlaford >loverd ‘lord’
hring>ring

‘ring’


Слайд 29 Metathesis
Metathesis is a phonetic change which consists

Metathesis 	Metathesis is a phonetic change which consists in two sounds exchanging their places. It

in two sounds exchanging their places. It mainly affected

the consonant r and the succeeding vowel e.g.
Þridda> Þirda

‘третий’,
rinnan>irnan, iernan ‘бежать’.
Occasionally metathesis affected other sounds:
sk>ks wascan>waxan ‘wash’
ps> sp aps>asp 1. осина 2. гадюка, змея (разг.)

Слайд 30 Gemination
Gemination is doubling of consonants. This process accompanied

GeminationGemination is doubling of consonants. This process accompanied i-mutation. It takes place only if the

i-mutation. It takes place only if the preceding sound

is short (before j, i), e.g.
sætjan>settan ‘put, place’
But dōmian>dēman

‘judge’
This change didn’t affect the sonorant r:
werian=werian
