The “Conundrum” of Old Norse i -Umlaut
Both Iverson and Salmons 2004 and Voyles 1982 develop viable theories of the Old Norse i -umlaut. It is argued, however, that while Iverson and Salmons' theory posits implausible changes, the changes assumed by Voyles are plausible and well attested.
On Old High German i-umlaut
Early Germanic Grammar
Authored by a well-respected authority in German linguistics, this book offers intensive scholarly analysis, recent discoveries, new methodologies, and important reinterpretations with regard to the emergence of Germanic features. It presents a much-needed scholarly discussion of the phonological and morphological history of early German from Indo-European to 800 A.D. Each chapter presents text samples as well as a discussion of the models and th…

Old Norse i-umlaut
Reduplicating verbs in North-West Germanic
Accounting for semantic change
The Infinitive and Participle in Indo-European
Gothic and Germanic
In §1, a reconsideration of the orthographic evidence for Gothic yields a synchronic distinctive-feature analysis of its phonology. In §2, a general procedure is proposed for determining a Stammbaum, by positing that tree which assumes the fewest rules of sound change from the proto-language to the dialects. In considering the diachronic rules of early Germanic, North and West Germanic are shown to share more rules than do North Germanic and Goth…
German Noun and Adjective Compounds
Simplicity, Ordered Rules, and the First Sound Shift
The following article is, first, an algorithm or set of rules for deriving the phonology of Proto-Germanic from that of Indo-European. The input to this set of rules consists of individual IE lexical items specified completely (i.e. allophonically) in terms of Jakobsonian distinctive features; the output consists of the corresponding lexical items of Proto-Germanic. Second, the article gives a criterion of simplicity for the construction of a sim…
