About This Item
Cambridge: University Press, 1994. First edition, 8vo, pp. x, 206; fine in original blue laminate boards. This is an unified account of all quantity changes affecting English stressed vowels during the early Middle English period. Dr Ritt discusses homorganic lengthening, open syllable lengthening, trisyllabic shortening, and shortening before consonant clusters. The study is based on a statistical analysis of Modern English reflexes of the changes.
