Russ University of Southampton 197» PREFACE This thesis is the result of several years of studying and teaching the historical phonology of German, both in Germany and Great Britain. I am particularly endebted to the late Professor W.I.Lucas, (Department of German, University of Southampton), whose help and encouragement were deeply appreciated, and to Professor L.E. Schmitt, (Director of the 'Forschungsinstitut fUr deutsche Sprache', University of Marburg), v;ho kindly allowed me to use the manuscript material there. My sincere thanks are also due to Dr.P.F.Ganz, (Hertford College, Oxford) and to the many others, with whom I had long and fruitful discussions on this subject. I must also record my gratitude to my many friends in German speaking Europe, v/ho, consciously or unconsciously, acted as informants. I should also like to thank Professor R.B.Le Page and my colleagues at the University of York, contact with whom proved to be the final stimulus needed to complete this thesis. Last, but not least, my thanks are due to Mrs.J. Premaratne for her very conscientious help with the typing, and, of course, to my wife, without whose tireless help and sunport this work would not have been possible. C.V.J.R.

INTRODUCTION Sistorical German phonology is a well-researched field of study and any fresh attempt to deal with it must be fully justified. Although the study of language has advanced with great strides since the first descriptions of historical. German phonology were written, the handbooks have not changed at the same rate. As examples of such handbooks we will take Hermann Paul's Deutsche Grammatik , reflecting Paul's long career, and Richard 2 von Kienle's Historische Laut- und Formenlehre des Deutschen. The former sets out his historical phonology in the following „ Vokale fashion: Allgemeines uber die Vokale, Die einzelnen^er betoihten Silbe, Vokale der unbetonten Silbe, Vokalwechsel, Allgemeines II II uber die Konsonanten, Die einzelnen Gerauschlaute, Die einzelnen Sonorlaute, Konsonantenwechsel. Von Kienle sets his handbook out as follows: Die Entwicklung starktoniger Vokale bis zur nhd. Zeit: Die Dipthongierung der mhd. Langen i, u, u. Die Monophthongierung der alten Dipthonge ie, uo, ue, Rundung und Entrundung, Xnderungen der Vokalquantitat, Underungen der Vokalqualitat, Der hochdeutsche Konsonantismus nach Einzellauten dargestellt.

    Writing & Language Development Center Phonetic Alphabet f o r English Language Learners A—The Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) is a system of phonetic symbols developed by linguists to represent P each of the wide variety of sounds (phones or phonemes) used in spoken human language. This includes both vowel and consonant sounds. The IPA is used to signal the pronunciation of words. Each symbol is treated separately, with examples (like those used in the dictionary) so you can pronounce the word in American English. Single consonant sounds Symbol Sound Example p p in “pen” pin, play, top, pretty, poppy, possible, pepper, pour t t in “taxi” tell, time, toy, tempted, tent, tender, bent, taste, to ɾ or ţ t in “bottle” butter, writer, rider, pretty, matter, city, pity ʔ or t¬ t in “button” cotton, curtain, kitten, Clinton, continent, forgotten k c in “corn” c in “car”, k in “kill”, q in “queen”, copy, kin, quilt s s in “sandal” c in “cell” or s in “sell”, city, sinful, receive, fussy, so f f in “fan” f in “face” or ph in “phone” gh laugh, fit, photo, graph m m in “mouse” miss, camera, home, woman, dam, mb in “bomb” b b in “boot” bother, boss, baby, maybe, club, verb, born, snobby d d in “duck” dude, duck, daytime, bald, blade, dinner, sudden, do g g in “goat” go, guts, giggle, girlfriend, gift, guy, goat, globe, go z z in “zebra” zap, zipper, zoom, zealous, jazz, zucchini, zero v v in “van” very, vaccine, valid, veteran, achieve, civil, vivid n n in “nurse” never, nose, nice, sudden, tent, knife, knight, nickel l l in “lake” liquid, laugh, linger,

Abstract The relationship between magyarization and Hungarian civil society during the reform era of Hungarian history (1790-1848) is the subject of this dissertation. This thesis examines the cultural and political activities of three liberal oppositional nobles: András Fáy (1786-1864), István Bezerédj (1796-1856) and Ödön Beöthy (1796-1854). These three men were chosen as the basis of this study because of their commitment to a two- pronged approach to politics: they advocated greater cultural magyarization in the multiethnic Hungarian Kingdom and campaigned to extend the protection of the Hungarian constitution to segments of the non-aristocratic portion of the Hungarian population.

  • Characteristics of the West-Central-Bavarian Vowel System - a Comparison Between Adults and Children
    Characteristics of the West-Central-Bavarian vowel system - a comparison between adults and children The West-Central-Bavarian (WCB) dialect, which is spoken in the south of Germany and in most parts of Austria, has often been a subject of research, due to its large vowel system with an astonishing number of diphthongs, that do not exist in the corresponding Standard language at all. Although there is a large amount of literature concerned with descriptions of the dialect, nearly all of it is based on impressionistic auditory descriptions (Zehetner, 1985; Merkle, 1976; Capell, 1979; Mansell, 1973a; Keller, 1961; Mansell, 1973a). While in the last decades systematic acoustic analyses on the Austrian side of the Bavarian dialect have been increasingly elaborated (Moosmüller et al.), the German side still remains largely unexplored. However, there is much evidence that Standard German (SG) is superimposed on German dialects, causing sound change in the respective dialects (e.g. Müller et al. (2001) for East-Franconian, Bukmaier & Harrington (2014) for Augsburg German). The goal of the current study was 1) to systematically measure some of the defining vowel characteristics of WCB for an acoustically based analysis of the Bavarian vowel system and 2) to investigate whether these characteristics are being preserved across generations or if there is a sound change in progress observable, in which young speakers show more standard characteristics than old on some attributes of vowels where Bavarian and the Standard are known to differ. The new concept for testing 2) is to combine synchronic and diachronic approaches in order to detect sound change.

Gustafson June 2011 © 2011 Adam R.

GUSTAFSON has been approved for the School of Interdisciplinary Arts and the College of Fine Arts _______________________________________________ Dora Wilson Professor of Music _______________________________________________ Charles A. McWeeny Dean, College of Fine Arts 3 ABSTRACT GUSTAFSON, ADAM R., Ph.D., June 2011, Interdisciplinary Arts The Artistic Patronage of Albrecht V and the Creation of Catholic Identity in Sixteenth- Century Bavaria Director of Dissertation: Dora Wilson Drawing from a number of artistic media, this dissertation is an interdisciplinary approach for understanding how artworks created under the patronage of Albrecht V were used to shape Catholic identity in Bavaria during the establishment of confessional boundaries in late sixteenth-century Europe. This study presents a methodological framework for understanding early modern patronage in which the arts are necessarily viewed as interconnected, and patronage is understood as a complex and often contradictory process that involved all elements of society. First, this study examines the legacy of arts patronage that Albrecht V inherited from his Wittelsbach predecessors and developed during his reign, from 1550-1579. Albrecht V‟s patronage is then divided into three areas: northern princely humanism, traditional religion and sociological propaganda.
