{"product_id":"alliteration-sound-change-in-donka-minkova-9780521032247","title":"Alliteration \u0026 Sound Change in","description":"This study uses evidence from early English poetry to determine when certain sound changes took place in the transition from Old to Middle English. It builds on the premise that alliteration in early English verse reflects faithfully the identity and similarity of stressed syllable onsets; it is based on the acoustic signal and not on the visual identity of letters. Examination of the behaviour of onset clusters leads to new conclusions regarding the causes for the special treatment of sp-, st-, sk-, and the chronology and motivation of cluster reduction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Donka Minkova\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521032245\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521032247\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/23\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 424\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.94d","brand":"Donka Minkova","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48799311921407,"sku":"9780521032247","price":53.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/alliteration-sound-change-in-donka-minkova-9780521032247","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
