In this course, we will explore the evolution of English phonological structure, tracing the history of individual sounds and their representation through Old, Middle, Early Modern and Present Day English. The course covers (the history of) the sounds of English (consonants and vowels), dialectal variation, the English stress system and Early English verse forms to demonstrate how the present form of the language is indebted to its past.
