Excerpt from Some Old English Graphemic-Phonemic Correspondences: Ae, Ea, and APresentation. From the statement of the problem it is clear that we are examining only the forms with 'short' vocalic nuclei, including those items spelled with de, ea, and a over which a macron was not written in the manuscripts and which are for etymological reasons con sidered not to have contained a 'long' vowel. 'long' forms include those items over which a macron could be written in the manuscripts and which are for etymological reasons considered to have contained a 'long' vowel. These are é éa, and 5. We are not examining these 'long' forms here, since they appear to be a different problem. We intend to examine them separately in another of several proposed articles on OE phonology. The present paper falls into two parts: 1, statement of our hypothesis and its re lation to the tradition, 2, detailed evidence, in two sub divisions-positive evidence and negative evidence.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
