  • Runes and Germanic Linguistics

    Elmer H AntonsenBOOKRunes and Germanic Linguistics2002

    The older runic inscriptions (ca. AD 150 - 450) represent the earliest attestation of any Germanic language. The close relationship of these inscriptions to the archaic Mediterranean writing traditions is demonstrated through the linguistic and orthographic analysis presented here. The extraordinary importance of these inscriptions for a proper understanding of the prehistory and early history of the present-day Germanic languages, including Engl…

  • Suprasegmentals in German

    Elmer H AntonsenARTICLELanguage1966

    In phonemic representations of German utterances, it is common practice to follow the system proposed by Trager and Smith (1951) for designating the so-called suprasegmental phonemes in English. According to this system, there are four phonemic stresses and four distinctive pitch levels. It is considered essential to mark the pitch level at the beginning and end of every utterance (phonemic clause), while an additional pitch indicator is called f…

  • On Defining Stages in Prehistoric Germanic

    Open AccessElmer H AntonsenARTICLELanguage1965Cited by: 2

    In recent years there have been a number of interesting attempts to redefine the prehistoric stages of Germanic. The need for such a redefinition has long been evident, as van Coetsem, Makaev, and Lehmann have all pointed out. One of the reasons for this need is undoubtedly to be found in the prevailing view of a protolanguage as an entity which is ‘timeless, non-dialectal, and non-phonetic’, and therefore unreal. Pulgram, for example, considers …

  • Germanic Umlaut Anew

    Elmer H AntonsenARTICLELanguage1961Cited by: 2

    1.1. A realistic reinterpretation of the Old English spellings ea, eo, io has been suggested by Charles F. Hockett, who approached the problem de novo by investigating the evidence in the Vespasian Psalter and Hymns (Anglian dialect of the first half of the 9th century) and by interpreting this evidence in the light of modern descriptive techniques. Hockett finds that the three digraphs in question represented independent phonemes (not allophones…
