Abstract

Old English is among those languages in which a ban is enforced on the sequence of adjacent vowels (V1V2). Vowel contraction in Old English (OE) has been traditionally known as a process where a vowel is elided to resolve the hiatus as shown in *slea(h)u > slēa ‘I slay’. The purpose of this paper is to provide an account of vowel contraction in OE within the framework of Optimality Theory. For the purpose, this paper attempts to answer following three questions related to OE vowel contraction: i) when does the hiatus occur in OE? ii) how is the vowel to be elided is determined? iii) why does not compensatory lengthening take place when V1 is deleted? I will show that none of previous analyses meet even observational adequacy in that they only treat the case where V2 is elided, though V1 is also deleted in certain environments as in ne+wæs > næs ‘was not’.
