Research Abstract

In Present Day English, (modal) verbs are morphonologically reduced onto pronominal subjects when they are juxtaposed e.g. it is > it’s. From a cross-linguistic perspective, the opposite dependency relation is much more common as seen in je aime ‘I love’ > j’aime in French. The survey results tell us that the Great Vowel Shift (GVS), which profoundly changed the way English words were pronounced roughly in 1500 through 1700, triggered such a weird morphonological relation in English.
