Product Information

Excerpt from English Dialects, Vol. 24: Their Homes and Sounds; Dialectal Work, and N. Bailey's Words I have been asked to write a few words of introduction to Dr. Bulbring's useful essay. The German term ablaut is usually called gradation in English books. It is explained in my Principles of English Etymology, First Series, p. 156, and in Dr. Sweet's Anglo-Saxon Primer and Anglo-Saxon Reader. The highest number of gradations is four, as in the case of the verb to drink (A.S. drincan); and it is usual to give the four principal stems of the strong verbs that exhibit gradation, as they occur in (1) the infinitive mood; (2) the first person singular of the past tense; (3) the first person plural of the past tense; and (4) the past participle. Thus, in the case of the A.S drincan, the four stems are seen in (1) drinc-an, to drink; (2) dranc, I drank; (3) drunc-on, we drank; (4) drunc-en, drunken. In modern English, as in this Essay, the third stem has been assimilated to the second, and practically disappears; hence the gradations are reduced to three, viz., to drink (or I drink), I drank, and drunken. This variation in the vowel-sound is here discussed. Some weak verbs also show a variation in the vowel, as in the case of I seek, pt. t. I sought, p.p. sought; I catch, pt. t. I caught, p.p. caught. Here the past tenses and past participles are (w) exactly alike, though the old past tense, I caught-e, was formerly dissyllabic. The influence of such verbs upon the strong verbs is here discussed.
