For example, Whan and When look similar except for the short vowel /a/ and /e/. The months April and March are spelled the same as modern spellings, so the reader may infer the sounds are the same. Therefore, the modern short vowel rule applies to Middle English as well. Droghte and drought are spelled similarly except for the vowels. The Etymology Dictionary defines droghte as dryness. So droghte and drought are synonyms. (Harper). Perced is also easy for the modern reader to decode. It is spelled nearly the same as pierce except the vowel /i/ is excluded from the Middle English spelling. However, there are passages that aren’t as easily understood.

It wasn't before to long that blood seeped through their teeth and their blood shot red eyes. Some patients laughed hysterically for no reasons at all. Others banged their heads against the walls of the asylum. The more you walked the halls of the asylum the more you saw murder and heard screams of terror. Those screams made the hair on my arms stand up. I couldn't wait until I left the asylum and the time didn't come soon enough.

Vocabulary—For each of the terms, give the definition and the significance relative to world history of each.

Assonance - Very similar to alliteration, but with vowels or a group of letters involving one

I will determine whether [æ] and [eʌ] appear to be allophonic or contrastive by examining those target sounds in “Dataset B” and “Dataset A”. Both sounds are present in the datasets but they are never seen together in the same word. The environments of the sounds are determined in (i) and organized by sound to see if there are any patterns that arise.

A neighbor of a word can be defined as a word that differs from the target word by one letter (for orthographic neighbors) or only one phoneme (for phonological neighbor). (Jalbert, Neath, & Suprenant, 2011). For example, the orthographic neighbors of the word bat would include cat, but, ban, bar while phonological neighbors of the word dog includes hog, log, dig and beg. Further research by Goh and Pisoni (2003) found that words from larger neighborhoods would be recalled more poorly than from small neighborhoods due to the presence of lexical competition among phonologically similar

The first, A list of 10 monosyllabic words which are phonologically similar but not semantically related (A list) was adapted from (LS) “white, height, night, light tight, write, might, quiet, bite, fight” (p 30). The second list comprised of 10 words which are semantically related (B list), similar in length, word class and frequency with the phonologically related words, dear, sugar, savory, sweet, tasty, flavor, honey, dessert, candy, treat . The level of frequency of the words were determined with the use of corpus (COCA and BNC). There are slight variations in the level of frequency of the B list words. Nevertheless, The lists were presented orally and
