The University of Michigan Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109 German Vowel Lengthening: Causes and Conditions [Elektronische Daten] [Robert L. Kyes] Investigations of vowel lengthening and shortening in German have sought to identify either the ultimate cause of these changes, e.g., the need to achieve an ideal and uniform word length, or the specific conditions for them, e.g., open vs. closed syllable. Little light has been shed on the problem since Paul's formulation of 1884. Typically absent are references to real evidence that might be adduced from Middle and Early New German orthographic practices.
