The subject of this volume is the far-reaching phonological change
which the German language has gone through during its history and
which has led to a fundamental typological reorientation of the
language. Whereas Old High German was clearly assigned to the
typological pole of syllable languages, Modern German has developed
into a pronouncedword language that disregards the syllable. With
the help of this typological model, all phonological changes can be
described far more adequately than ever before. After introducing
the concepts of syllable andword language, the volume moves on to
describe the phonological-typological changes which have taken
place in the history of the German language. Distinguishing
features of this volume are its comprehensibility and numerous
examples.
