A reply to Herbert Penzl's “Historiographie und Sprachgeschichte: Zur Beschreibung des ahd. i−Umlauts”
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 December 2008
Abstract
Two incompatible theories of OHG i−umlaut are briefly described—the one proposed by Twaddell in 1938, the other by Voyles in 1991. Five arguments recently adduced by Penzl in defense of the Twaddellian theory are discussed. These five points are critiqued in some detail because they are crucial for understanding and evaluating the two theories.
