English has long been suspected to be a vowel-shifting language.
This hypothesis, often only adumbrated in previous work, is closely
investigated in this book. Framed within a novel framework
combining evolutionary linguistics and Optimality Theory, the
account proposed here argues that the replacement of duration by
quality as the primary cue to signaling vowel oppositions has
resulted in the 'shiftiness' of many post-medieval English
varieties.
