The second part of a-fronting, called Anglo-Frisian brightening or First Fronting, is very similar to the first part except that it affects short a instead of long ā. Here a [ɑ] is fronted to æ [æ] unless followed by /n, m/ or nasalized, the same conditions as applied in the first part.
The Anglo-Frisian languages are distinct from other West Germanic languages due to several sound changes: besides the Ingvaeonic nasal spirant law, which is present in Low German as well, Anglo-Frisian brightening and palatalization of /k/ are for the most part unique to the modern Anglo-Frisian languages:
Original (post Anglo-Frisian brightening) ǣ was raised to ē in Anglian but remained in West Saxon. This occurred before other changes such as breaking, and did not affect ǣ caused by i-umlaut of ā.
A. Anglo-Frisian Brightening (AFB) is an early 5thc. sound change responsible for the appearance. of a new phoneme - /æ/ both in English and Frisian (=Anglo-Frisian branch of Ingvaeonic). E.g. OE dæg, OI dAgr, Go dAgs, OHG tAg. AFB turns /A/ → /æ/ except before a nasal (hence OE and OHG mann) Let’s take a look at some paradigms: WGmc Sg.
2.0 Breaking (or ‘Fracture’) is the term generally used by Anglicists to describe a process of diphthongisation whereby, between a front vowel and certain single consonants or consonant clusters, a back glide vowel developed, at first as [u], but subsequently lowered and centred to [ə].
25 de ago. de 2018 · Summary. In my habilitation thesis (Waxenberger 2010) I considered, amongst other things, the earliest runic inscriptions in England, from the period c. ad 400–650. By comparing them to the later inscriptions I found that the English runic corpus can be divided into two sub-corpora: a small Pre-Old English (Pre-OE) corpus (Fig. 6.1 ...
