Vowel Articulation: Lip Position and Quantity

Lip Shape and Vowel Length

The position of the lips or shape of the lips can be rounded ( ) or unrounded ( ). Vowel quantity is determined by length: RP 5 long vowels ( ) versus 7 short vowels ( ).

Vowel Length Conditions

• So-called long vowels occur in syllables closed by a voiceless consonant ( ), where they become shorter or halflong (pre-fortis clipping).
• Vowels can be checked or free depending on their phonological distribution.
• Short vowels ( ) are checked because they cannot occur in final stressed syllables.
• Long vowels and diphthongs have no such restriction and are labeled free. The short vowel ( ) falls into this class.

The Narrator's Voice in The Canterbury Tales

The pilgrim narrator in The Canterbury Tales, as in other narrative works (written in verse), speaks of what he has dreamed, read, or seen in a manner which the reader soon learns to recognize as characteristic—the author's own voice. The Chaucer of all these poems is a retiring, bookish man, with little first-hand experience of life, least of all in the great matter of love. He can therefore do no better than report faithfully what he dreams, reads, or observes of the world and its ways.

Often he is puzzled by what he finds, and at times he even apologizes for what he is forced (for some reason) to report. Since the "matter" of his stories is not of his own making, it cannot always be to his taste.... Continue reading "Chaucer's Canterbury Tales: Narrator, Context, and Enduring Legacy" »
