Abstract

This paper aims at looking into some aspects of the developments of phonological and orthographic affricates in English. Some of the diachronic developments of this class of sounds in all three main periods of the history of the English language are scanned. The palatalisation of velar plosives in Old English and that of alveolar plosives in Middle English and Modern English played a key role in the introduction and development of affricates. Another source of affricates is loanwords, particularly from French in the era of Middle English. The number of the orthographic representations of the two affricate phonemes in Old English at the time of first introduction was noticeably small, but there was a significant increase in number in Middle and Modern English.

英语词形的语音和正字法发展

本文旨在探讨英语语音和正字法上的词缀发展的一些方面。这类音在英语历史的三个主要时期的一些历时发展被扫描。古英语中舌状爆破音的腭形化以及中古英语和现代英语中肺泡爆破音的腭形化在舌形元音的引入和发展中发挥了关键作用。非重叠词的另一个来源是外来词，尤其是中古英语时期的法语外来词。在古英语中，这两个词音的正字法表示在第一次引入时的数量明显很少，但在中古英语和现代英语中，数量显著增加。

Contributions may be submitted from all countries and are accepted all year round. The language of publication is English. There are no restrictions on regular submission; however, manuscripts simultaneously submitted to other publications cannot be accepted. TJL adheres to a strict standard of double-blind reviews to minimize biases that might be caused by knowledge of the author’s gender, culture, or standing within the professional community. Once a manuscript is determined as potentially suitable for the journal after an initial screening by the editor, all information that may identify the author is removed, and copies are sent to at least two qualified reviewers. The selection of reviewers is based purely on professional considerations and their identity will be kept strictly confidential by TJL.
