| Summary: | Findell, a research associate at University of Leicester, reconstructs a phonological system of proto-German dialects from the 1st millennia. He uses runic inscriptions that date back to the 5th-7th century from the southern region of Germany. The runes are written in Older Futhark; those using innovative English or Fresian runes are excluded. The bulk of the text is an item by item analysis of inscriptions that try to relate grapheme and phoneme. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) |
