PREFACE; ABBREVIATIONS; INTRODUCTION; I. PHONEMIC OPPOSITIONS BASED ON TONE FEATURES; A. The dynamics of timbre oppositions in the OE vowel system; 1. The appearance of the opposition of timbre gliding in the subsystem of tense (long) vowel phonemes; 2. The extension of the opposition of timbre gliding to the subsystem of lax (short) vowel phonemes by breaking; 3. Palatalization and velar umlaut as additional sources of phonemes with timbre gliding; 4. Palatal umlaut as a stage in the extension of the opposition of timbre gliding; 5. The general rearrangement of timbre oppositions in Late OE |
|
6. Summary B. The rearrangement of the localization opposition in the OE consonant system; 1. The split in the back consonants and its links with the rearrangements in timbre oppositions; II. PHONEMIC OPPOSITIONS BASED ON SONORITY AND PROTENSITY FEATURES; A. The oppositions of tenseness (length) in OE vowels and consonants; 1. The phonological interpretation of protensity features; 2. The establishment of tenseness oppositions in OE vowels and consonants and the distributional properties of tense phonemes |
|
3. Vowel lengthening before certain consonant clusters as the final stage in the extension of tenseness oppositions in OEB. The rearrangement in the system of phonemic oppositions in Early ME; 1. The replacement of the consonantal oppositions of tenseness and voice by the opposition of fused tenseness; 2. The replacement of the opposition of vocalic tenseness by the new opposition of abruptness; C. The evolution of the opposition of vocalic abruptness in ME and MnE; 1. The rearrangement in the ME system of vowel phonemes and in their distribution |
|
2. Vocalization of certain consonants and the emergence of non-abrupt gliding phonemes 3. The Great Vowel Shift; 4. The formation of the MnE vowel system; D. Summary; III. ON FUNCTIONAL FACTORS IN THE DYNAMICS OF THE ENGLISH PHONOLOGICAL SYSTEM; A. The construction of English phonetic words; 1. The primaries; a. Onsets; b. Peaks; c. Codas; 2. Relations between primaries; 3. The constructional potential and its realization; B. Quantitative relations between the lexical and phonic tiers in the macrosystem of language |
|
1. On the relationship between the constructional potential and its realization2. A mathematical model for the realization of the constructional potential; C. The functional determination of the numerical composition of the phonological system as a factor in its dynamics; REFERENCES; INDEX OF NAMES; INDEX OF SUBJECTS |
