1. Old English Vowels
and Consonants.
The Old English 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.
Слайд 3
![VOWELS The monophthongs are: a æ e i u y](/_ipx/f_webp&q_80&fit_contain&s_1440x1080/imagesDir/jpg/1457/slide-2.jpg)
VOWELS
The monophthongs are: a æ e i u y o
å ā
ǣ ē ī ū ȳ ō
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.

![CONSONANTS The system of consonants in OE manifested the following](/_ipx/f_webp&q_80&fit_contain&s_1440x1080/imagesDir/jpg/1457/slide-3.jpg)
CONSONANTS
The system of consonants in OE manifested the 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.

CONSONANTS
2. The absence of affricates (аффрикаты) and sibilants (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.

as the
voiced velar plosive variant [g] at the beginning of the word, before back vowels (a, o, u) and consonants, in the middle of the word after n:
[g] – ʒōd, ʒrētan, ʒanʒan
as the voiced velar fricative variant [ɣ] in the middle of the word after back vowels and consonants [r, l]:
[ɣ] – daʒas, sloʒ, sorʒ, folʒan
as the voiced palatal fricative variant [j] before and after front vowels:
[j] – ʒēār, dæʒ

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

![FRACTURE OE fracture is diphthongization of short vowels before certain](/_ipx/f_webp&q_80&fit_contain&s_1440x1080/imagesDir/jpg/1457/slide-9.jpg)
FRACTURE
OE fracture is diphthongization of short vowels before 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’.
Слайд 11
![FRACTURE e>eo before the clusters ‘r, l, h+consonant’, and h](/_ipx/f_webp&q_80&fit_contain&s_1440x1080/imagesDir/jpg/1457/slide-10.jpg)
FRACTURE
e>eo before the clusters ‘r, l, h+consonant’, and 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.

![MUTATION (UMLAUT) Mutation is the change of one vowel to](/_ipx/f_webp&q_80&fit_contain&s_1440x1080/imagesDir/jpg/1457/slide-12.jpg)
MUTATION (UMLAUT)
Mutation is the change of one vowel 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 caused](/_ipx/f_webp&q_80&fit_contain&s_1440x1080/imagesDir/jpg/1457/slide-13.jpg)
I-MUTATION
The most important type of mutation is that 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, he](/_ipx/f_webp&q_80&fit_contain&s_1440x1080/imagesDir/jpg/1457/slide-14.jpg)
I-MUTATION
When the speaker begins to articulate the u, 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 a](/_ipx/f_webp&q_80&fit_contain&s_1440x1080/imagesDir/jpg/1457/slide-15.jpg)
BACK MUTATION
Another type of mutation was caused by 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](/_ipx/f_webp&q_80&fit_contain&s_1440x1080/imagesDir/jpg/1457/slide-16.jpg)
BACK MUTATION
These 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’
Слайд 18
![MUTATION BEFORE h There’s no satisfactory explanation for the essence](/_ipx/f_webp&q_80&fit_contain&s_1440x1080/imagesDir/jpg/1457/slide-17.jpg)
MUTATION BEFORE h
There’s no satisfactory explanation for the 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.

![Quantitative Changes in OE Vowels Quantitative changes in OE vowels](/_ipx/f_webp&q_80&fit_contain&s_1440x1080/imagesDir/jpg/1457/slide-18.jpg)
Quantitative Changes in OE Vowels
Quantitative changes in 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 were lost.](/_ipx/f_webp&q_80&fit_contain&s_1440x1080/imagesDir/jpg/1457/slide-19.jpg)
LENGTHENING
2. It took place if some consonants 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 (стяжение).](/_ipx/f_webp&q_80&fit_contain&s_1440x1080/imagesDir/jpg/1457/slide-20.jpg)
LENGTHENING
3. Lengthening took place in case of contraction (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’

3. Phonetic Changes in OE Consonants
Qualitative changes:
*voicing and devoicing of fricatives
*palatalization
*assimilation.
Слайд 23
![Voicing and Devoicing of Fricatives In OE the fricatives f,](/_ipx/f_webp&q_80&fit_contain&s_1440x1080/imagesDir/jpg/1457/slide-22.jpg)
Voicing and Devoicing of Fricatives
In OE the fricatives 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 The velar consonants [k, g, g:, х] were palatalized](/_ipx/f_webp&q_80&fit_contain&s_1440x1080/imagesDir/jpg/1457/slide-23.jpg)
Palatalization
The velar consonants [k, g, g:, х] were 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’

![Assimilation Assimilation is a process when two adjacent consonants within](/_ipx/f_webp&q_80&fit_contain&s_1440x1080/imagesDir/jpg/1457/slide-24.jpg)
Assimilation
Assimilation is a process when two adjacent consonants 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’

Quantitative Сhanges of OE Consonants
These include
* loss of consonants:
a) syncopation
(синкопа)
b) simplification (упрощение)
*metathesis (метатеза)
*gemination (геминация, удвоение)
Слайд 27
![Syncopation Syncopation is shortening of a word through the loss](/_ipx/f_webp&q_80&fit_contain&s_1440x1080/imagesDir/jpg/1457/slide-26.jpg)
Syncopation
Syncopation is shortening of a word through 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 word.](/_ipx/f_webp&q_80&fit_contain&s_1440x1080/imagesDir/jpg/1457/slide-27.jpg)
Simplification
Simplification is shortening at the beginning of a word. H is
lost in hl, hr:
hlaford >loverd ‘lord’
hring>ring ‘ring’
Слайд 29
![Metathesis Metathesis is a phonetic change which consists in two](/_ipx/f_webp&q_80&fit_contain&s_1440x1080/imagesDir/jpg/1457/slide-28.jpg)
Metathesis
Metathesis is a phonetic change which consists 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.)

Gemination
Gemination is doubling of consonants. This process accompanied 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
