East Midlands Archaeological Research Framework:
The 5 to 9 centuries are a period of British archaeology which is trapped between disciplines. In effect, the period is pre-historic until the early 8 century, when Bede provides the first contemporary account of the region, from the perspective of a Northumbrian monk living on an island which was politically, ethnically and religiously divided.

This study combines acoustic, video, and ultrasound analysis to examine the productions of seven Metro Detroit speakers and determine the relative contributions of lip configuration and tongue position to the production...
متن کامل!e coarticulatory basis of diachronic high back vowel fronting*
!e study is concerned with the contribution of synchronic consonant-on-vowel coarticulation to the diachronic fronting of high back vowels. !e "rst part of the paper makes use of an empirical analysis of German vowels to explain why high back vowels are more likely to front diachronically than high front vowels are to retract. !is study is then linked to the changing coarticulatory relationship...
متن کاملUsing angle calculations to demonstrate vowel shifts: A diachronic investigation of FOOT-fronting in 20th-century RP (UK)
a) Develop a new ‘centre of gravity’-based normalisation procedure which better enables visual comparisons of vowel formant plots from different sources, and avoids some of the disadvantages of more well-known procedures (Watt and Fabricius 2003). b) Define geometrical measures of the configurational relations between average vowel positions on formant plots to aid the replicable interpretation...
