h broke into the dipht-s. Dragged their nearest neighbours on to their now empty position.) Hard to say which theory is convincing.
GVS changed system of long vowels, their quality, narrowed or developed into diphth-gs. 'Indep' change-no apparent phonet conditions. Affected stressed long v in any position. i:> ai, e:> i:,?:> e:> i:, a:> e:> ei, open o:> o:> ou, o:> u :, u:> au. No regular spelling changes. Digraphs 'ee', 'ei', 'ie' for/e :/, 'ea' (in 16c) for /? :/. Merging of/e :/ and /? :/ In/I :/ made their graphical distinctions useless: meet-meat. 'Oo' for/o :/, 'oa' for/open o :/ - useful, indicate 2 dif sounds in ModE: 'oo'-for/u :/,' oa '-for/ou /. Length of a vowel indicated - final mute 'e' . -Produced the position of an open syllable fro the root vowel. Names and values ​​of some letters changed-MidE A/a :/> EmodE A/ei /. Gap b/w the spok and writ forms. Cases needed explanation. The origin of the dipht/ei/in the wrds 'great, break'? - Jespersen-common intermediate stage of long vowels/a :/ and /? :/ -?:> E: > ; i:, a:>?:>?:> e: > ei. It caused pronounc-n of diphth/ei |. distribution of long vowels was changed by GVS-Dipht-s/ai, ei, ou, au/could be met in a number of positions a reason for development of homophones: plain (voc of fric) - plane (GVS).
Vocalization of 'R'. Source of new long monopht-s and dipht-s in EmodE. The sonorant/r/- influence upon the preceding vowel, made it more open. The cluster/er/>/ar /. Spelling reflected this phonetic change: derk> dark. The spelling 'ear' was adopted: heart. In some wrds, containing/er /, the change into/ar/didn't take place: certain, perfect. In some-the change was reflected in spelling: learn, early. In some wasn't-clerk, sergeant. In MidE/r/like the Rus/r /,-Johnson noticed. In EmodE/r/occurring after a vowel, changed into the neutral /? /, Which, being added to the preceding vowela dipht or a long monopht.

R to make the vowel more open, Shift-narrower. (?:> E: + r>??, Like in 'bear'). In other cases voc-n was at the final stage of the Shift of long? : ?:> e:> i: + r> i?, like in 'fear, hear'. Contribution-appeared new dipht-s:/i? /,/U? /, /??/And a new monopht /? :/.
Traditions of English Orthography. For centuries the vowel and consonant sys have been affected by changes, while the rules of spelling (sp-ing) were regulated once, in the EModE period, after the Norman conquesta introduced Fr graphic traditions. 2 kinds of innovations: 1) new letters 2) new digraphs to denote vowels (v) and consonants (c). I. The new letters -all consonantal. 1) The letter [?] (In OE to denote phonemes ([g], [?], [? ']) A replaced in ME by the letters [G] to denote the velar stop [g] and letter [Y ] to denote the palatal fricative. 2) The letter 'V' to denote the sound [v]. The letter 'v' was often treated as an allograph to the letter 'u'a variants of sp-ing of the same word: over-ouer. aanalyze the distribution of the - b w two vowels like [v], before the following cons - [u]. 3) The letter 'Q', always accompanied by 'U'-for reflecting [k] or cluster [kw] (' quarter '). 4) The letter "Z" to denote the c [z] - used seldom, in the initial position of loans (zoo, zone), in wrds of the Eng origin the letter 'S' is preferable (choose, lose), 5 ) The letter 'K' - sound [k] for which in OE the letter 'C' was used. In ME 'C' represented 2 sounds: [s] before front v (city), and [k] before back v (course). 6) the letter 'J' - the affricate [d?] In the initial position; June. For the same purpose - the letter 'G' (before front v - image) and the diagraph 'dg' (bridge). II. New digraphs - both in the system of v and c: 1) The OE letters "?" and "?" replaced by the digr "th": OE? is-this ME. 2) The digr 'ch'-for affricate [t?] (May be'ch 'penetrated through Fr loans as chamber, chair, where represented [?]). 3) The sound [?] In ME repres by 'sh' or 'sch': ship. 4) 'gh' - to reflect the fricatives [x], [x '], spelt in OE through' H ', which was also used to represent the sound [h]: OE liht-light ME. But vocal-n of these fric-s in the ME it useless. 5) 'ou' was adopted in ME to indicate [u:]. From Fr loans like "trouble, couch" was transferred: OE ut - out ME. In the initial position the diagraph 'ow' was more prefera...
