This hypothesis, often only adumbrated in previous work, is closely investigated in this book. Framed within a novel framework combining evolutionary linguistics and Optimality Theory, the account proposed here argues that the replacement of duration by quality as the primary cue to signaling vowel oppositions has resulted in the ?shiftiness? of many post-medieval English varieties. 410 0$aTopics in English linguistics ;$v88. 606 $aEnglish language$xVowels$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEnglish language$xVowels$xHistory. 676 $a427.009 700 $aKazmierski$b Kamil$01055885 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460611703321 996 $aVowel-shifting in the English language$92489672 997 $aUNINA
