This sound history of the Germanic languages draws on exhaustive dialect surveys to reconstruct the Proto-Germanic prosodic system, creating a bridge between the Scandinavian and West Germanic areas. Chapters also cover key changes like umlauts, breakings, and diphthongization.
The book is devoted to the sound history and the sound shape of all the Germanic languages, with the focus on West Germanic. Based on an exhaustive survey of accents in German, Dutch, and English dialects, it continues the author’s research in the Scandinavian area. A detailed survey of the data, hidden in countless obscure publications and rarely known outside the narrow circle of dialectologists, continues the efforts of numerous scholars over more than two centuries and culminates in a reconstruction of the Proto-Germanic prosodic system. This reconstruction produces a bridge between the Scandinavian and the West Germanic areas. Since accents are intimately connected with vowels and consonants, half of the chapters deal with the most important changes in the history of sounds: lengthenings, umlauts, breakings, and diphthongization, as well as with such foundational questions as the causes of phonetic change and the impact of general theory on phonological research.
