Description

This Routledge Library Editions volume explores the mechanisms by which languages develop and distinguish vowel length across diverse linguistic systems. The book examines how languages build upon existing stocks of long vowels through multiple processes, whilst identifying coalescence of vowel sequences as the primary mechanism by which languages without vocalic length distinctions introduce this feature, typically following the loss of intervocalic consonants. Drawing on data from a variety of languages, the work analyses vowel lengths, their phonological differences, and their measurable effects on language structure and evolution, making it an essential reference for linguists studying historical phonology and the development of vowel systems across language families.

Key Features

Routledge Library Editions publication offering established scholarship on historical phonology and vowel length development across languages.

Examines coalescence of vowel sequences as the primary mechanism for introducing vocalic length distinctions in languages without prior length contrasts.

Provides comparative data from multiple languages to support theories of how long vowel inventories develop and expand within language systems.

Analyses the phonological differences between vowel lengths and their specific effects on language structure and linguistic patterns.

Reference work suited for linguists, language researchers, and academics studying applied linguistics and grammatical structures.
