English Language change
Sound change
One of the most noticeable differences between old and modern English is the change that vowel sounds have undergone. e.g.
Old English Modern English
/hu:s/ /haus/ (house)
/wi:f/ /waif/ (wife)
/br3:k/ /breik/ (break)
Long vowels have changed into diphthongs.
Some sounds disappeared from the general pronunciation of English. e.g.
[x] sound which was used in the old English pronunciation of night, as [nixt] very similar to German pronunciation, is absent in the present-day form night as [nait].
Metathesis:
It is a change in position of two adjoining sounds. e.g.
frist first
hros horse
Epenthesis: It is the addition of a sound to the middle of a word. e.g.
aemtig empty
The addition of a [p] sound after the nasal [m].
Prothesis:
It is the addition of a sound to the beginning of a word. It is common in the change of pronunciation from Latin to Spanish.
Schola escuela
spiritus espiritu
Syntactic change
Some differences between the structure of sentences involve word order. e.g.
The object can be placed before the verb:
He hine geseah (he saw him)
The loss of many inflectional affixes. e.g.
sealde he gave
sealdest you gave
In the field of linguistics, syntactic change is the evolution of the syntax, or structure, of a natural spoken language. In many languages, it is most easily observed in the transformation of irregular verb forms. For instance, in English, the past tense of the irregular verb "to go" is not "goed," which is what a non-native speaker would probably expect. Instead, the verb has undergone a syntactic change to "went," a borrowing from the past tense of the verb "to wend". Over time, syntactic change is usually the greatest modifier of a particular language.Syntactic change is seen as creating a gradual shift in language patterns over time. It is also subject to cyclic drift.
