{"product_id":"9781107055759","title":"Long-Vowel Shifts in English, c.1050-1700 : Evidence from Spelling (Studies in English Language)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe English language has undergone many sound changes in its long history. Some of these changes had a profound effect on the pronunciation of the language. A number of these significant instances of language evolution are generally grouped together and termed the 'Great Vowel Shift'. These changes are generally considered to be unrelated to other, similar long-vowel changes taking place a little earlier. This book assesses an extensive range of irregular Middle English spellings for all these changes, with a view to identifying the real course of events: the dates, the chronology, and the dialects that stand out as being innovative. Using empirical evidence to offer a fresh perspective and drawing new, convincing conclusions, Stenbrenden offers an interpretation of the history of the English language which may change our view of sound change completely.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45413423054927,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":4900.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/9174\/2287\/files\/9781107055759-1.jpg?v=1784961277","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.tw\/ja\/products\/9781107055759","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Taiwan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
