Zusammenfassung
In a number of positions the Old English semivowels [j] and [w] (as in dæg , flowan ) began losing articulatory strength and were eventually vocalized to [i] and [u], respectively, joining the preceding vowels (cf. the diphthongs in Modern English day , flow ). The present study empirically analyzes and quantifies the influence of various factors on this sound change by looking at spellings of relevant word forms in the lexicogrammatically annotated text corpus published along with the Linguistic Atlas of Early Middle English (LAEME) in 2013. Factors that are taken into account include spatial and temporal variables as well as a number of linguistic factors, such as the quantity and quality of the preceding vowels, or the question of which part of a syllable the respective semivowels originally belonged to.Verknüpfung zu Publikationen oder weiteren Datensätzen
