Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the origins of qualitative vowel shifts in the Indo-European (IE) language family. The author argues that these vowel shifts were triggered by changes in word stress, rather than by other factors such as the influence of neighboring consonants, a popular theory advanced by Baudouin de Courtenay and Pedersen. The author presents evidence from a wide range of IE languages, including Greek, Sanskrit, and Latin, to support his thesis. He shows that in many cases, vowel shifts occurred after the stress shifted away from the vowel in question. This suggests that the shifts were caused by a loss of vocalic prominence, which allowed the vowel to be pronounced more loosely and with less precision. The author's findings have important implications for our understanding of the evolution of IE languages. They show that vowel shifts were not simply random changes, but were instead part of a larger pattern of sound changes that were driven by stress. This book is a valuable contribution to the field of historical linguistics and will be of interest to anyone interested in the history of language. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780259790365_0
