英語の音韻史を学ぼうとすると,古英語以前から現代英語にかけて,あまりに多数の音変化が起こってきたので目がクラクラするほどだ.本ブログでも,これまで個々には多数の音変化を扱ってきたが,より体系的に主要なものだけでも少しずつ提示していき,蓄積していければと思っている.
今回は,Hamer (14--15) の古英語音変化入門書より,古英語に先立つゲルマン語時代の3種の注目すべき母音変化を紹介する.
Sound change | Description | Examples |
---|---|---|
A | u > o unless followed by a nasal consonant, or by u or i/j in the following syllable. (By this is meant if the vowel element of the following syllable consisted of any u sound, or of any i sound or of any combination beginning with j.) | bunden, holpen are both OE p.p. of Class III Strong Verbs, the u of bunden having been retained, because of the following n. god, gyden = 'god', goddess. gyden had earlier had i instead of e in its ending, and this i first caused the u to survive, then later caused it to change to y by i-mutation (see I below). Thus both the o and y in these forms derive from Gmc. u. |
B | e > i if followed by a nasal consonant, or by i/j in the following syllable. | bindan, helpan are both OE infin. of Class III Strong Verbs. helpan has 3 sg. pres indic. hilpþ < Gmc. *hilpiþi. |
C | eu > iu before i/j in the following syllable. |
