| 520 | 3 | |a Starting out from two widely-accepted views about the Great Vowel Shift, namely that the sounds affected by it were characterized primarily by the feature ‘tense' (not ‘long') and that the development was a push chain (not a drag chain), this paper seeks to explain the changes of the two Old English open long vowels /æ:/ > /ɛ:/ and /α:/ > /ɔ:/ as a simultaneous raising development of the two most open tense vowels. Based on evidence from several Middle English quantitative changes which shows that all Old English aperture correspondences between short and long vowels (e. g. /i/ - /i:/, /e/ - /e:/) were eventually changed in Middle English (cf. the reflexes of open syllable lengthening, e. g. ME weke /e:/ < OE wicu /i/, ME stelen /ɛ:/ < OE stelan /e/), it is then argued that this shift of aperture correspondences is due to raising of all long tense vowels by late Middle English. Further, it is argued that the early raising of the two most open vowels /æ:/ > /ɛ:/ and /α:/ > /ɔ:/ initiated this raising development which eventually resulted in the Great Vowel Shift of all long tense vowels. Thus, the simultaneous raising of OE /æ:/ > /ɛ:/ and /α:/ > /ɔ:/ may be viewed as a prelude to the Great Vowel Shift. | |
