This book discusses the origins of a series of sound changes in English: it investigates their linguistic properties and social and cultural context to investigate why do sound changes happen when and where they do. Written with minimal use of jargon it will appeal to all serious students of English historical linguistics, from advanced undergraduates to researchers.
