The Phonology of Mid Vowels in Germanic Languages
In phonological theory there are multiple ways to represent mid vowels. SPE conventions maintain that they are non-[high] and non-[low]. Conversely, frameworks like Element Theory argue that mid vowels are simultaneously [high] and [low]. This article examines eight processes (and groups of processes) within the Germanic language family, which strongly indicate their specification as simultaneously [high] and [low]. That specification is manifest…
The status of /w/ in Old High German
Old High German (OHG) differs from many other languages in that [w] does not stand in complementary distribution with [u], but rather it exhibits alternations with [o]. For example, the [o] in adjectives like gël[o] ‘yellow .nom.sg ’ alternates with [w] in corresponding inflected forms (e.g. gël[w]es ‘yellow .gen.sg ’). Based on extant data, we make three claims about OHG [w]. First, we use several analytical lenses – from phonotactics and etymol…
