Some of these changes had a profound effect on the pronunciation of the language. A number of these significant instances of language evolution are generally grouped together and termed the 'Great Vowel Shift'. These changes are generally considered to be unrelated to other, similar long-vowel changes taking place a little earlier. This book assesses an extensive range of irregular Middle English spellings for all these changes, with a view to identifying the real course of events: the dates, the chronology, and the dialects that stand out as being innovative. Using empirical evidence to offer a fresh perspective and drawing new, convincing conclusions, Stenbrenden offers an interpretation of the history of the English language which may change our view of sound change completely.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gjertrud Flermoen Stenbrenden\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1107677513\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781107677517\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 01\/24\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.07lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.75d","brand":"Gjertrud Flermoen Stenbrenden","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43924079706367,"sku":"9781107677517","price":46.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_4ef74ca5-f9de-4127-b9bf-87059d1b6970.jpg?v=1681068354","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/long-vowel-shifts-in-english-c1050-1700-gjertrud-flermoen-stenbrenden-9781107677517","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
