Synopsis
Excerpt from Synopsis of Old English Phonology: Being a Systematic Account of Old English Vowels and Consonants and Their Correspondences in the Cognate Languages
I have named this little work 'a Synopsis of Old English Phonology.' By the term 'phonology' I mean exactly the same thing as the Germans mean by the term 'lautlehre,' that is, a systematic account of the sounds of a language as represented by written symbols or letters. The subject of my book is the Vocalism and Consonantism of Old English or anglo-saxon. Its central subject of investigation is the Early West Saxon form of Old English. The work is an attempt to give a systematic account of the correspondences of the West Saxon Vowels and Consonants: in the first place. With Primitive Germanic and pre-germanic sounds; secondly, with the sourids in the principal Old English Dialects; and thirdly (in Part II), with the sounds in Modern English. With the help of the Tables set forth in Part II the student will be enabled in some typical instances to trace the Modern English form of a word through the Old English form, through the Primitive Germanic type, back to the type assumed to have existed - Pin the Urspmeke,' called in this work Indogermanic.'
