Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. From the Middle Ages through the 18th century, this book is the first in-depth survey of English spelling orthography and pronunciation. Relying on a unique collaboration between author and editor, it combines historical linguistics and modern philological methods. It traces letter-sounds in detail and also looks at English orthography's general historical evolution. The author employs empirical data to give theoretical and historical evidence, starting with late medieval spelling reformers' work. He investigates variable spelling, stress, accent, and elocutionary symbols. The author's impressive work draws on an exhaustive corpus of Middle and Modern English texts.
