    This document provides a summary of an article from the Leeds Studies in English journal. [1] The article discusses two phonological processes in Afrikaans: the fronting of [k] to [c] or [t] before front vowels, and the mutation of vowels before diminutive suffixes. [2] It provides examples of words that illustrate different stages of the fronting of [k], as well as the diphthongization of vowels before suffixes like "-tjie". [3] The article argues these processes provide insight into sound changes that occurred in Old English.

    HOOPERFRONTING, ETC., IN AFRIKAANS. 75

    FRONTING OF [k] AND MUTATION IN AFRIKAANS.


    To the student of Germanic languages Afrikaans offers many
    points of interest. Afrikaans not only shares with Dutch the
    retention of the spirant pronunciation of the consonant " g",
    but illustrates sound-changes which must have taken place
    in Primitive Old English.
    (i) Fronting of [k]. This change, [k > 1 c > t / ] , is illustrated
    in all its phases in present-day Afrikaans, e.g. in a word such
    as " k e e l " = throat. The standard educated Afrikaans
    pronunciation is [ke:l], but the other two, and intermediate
    stages, are heard among the Cape coloured and in country
    districts among the less educated Afrikaners: viz. [ce:l] and
    even [t/e:l].
    This change is common in words in which [k] stands before
    front vowels or diphthongs, e.g. in " ken, kurang, kind, kies."
    It is also noteworthy that there is a similar change and a
    fronting of [g] and [\] before front vowels or diphthongs,
    e.g. of [g] in " gherilla, ghitaar," and of [x] in " gee, geld."
    (ii) Mutation. Words in which the back vowels [a, o, 0, u]
    occur followed by " -(n)tjie/ -(n)djie " seem in Afrikaans to be
    in process of mutation, and to be now in an intermediate
    stage: the front combination in the final syllable has already
    affected the pronunciation of the preceding vowel which has
    become diphthongised.
    Compare e.g. maat [ma :t] with the diminutive maatjie [maici]
    gat fxat] gaatjie [\aici]
    pad [pat] paadjiie [paici]
    mandjie [mamci]
    cf. groot [xro:t] with grootjie [xro:ici]
    boontjie [bo:ici]
    1
    [c"|, the voiceless palatal plosive, also occurs regularly in the many words ending
    n -tjie/ -djie: naartjie [narci], liedjie [lici].

    cf. pot [pot] with potjie [poici]


    hond [font] hondjie [foiwci]
    cf. voet [fut] with voetjie [fuici]
    goed [\ut] goedjies [xuicis]
    There is a similar tendency observable in the case of the
    front vowels [ce] and [e] followed by " -(n)tjie/ -(n)djie " :
    cf. put [poet] with putjie [pceyci]
    munt [mcent] muntjie [mceynci]
    net [net] netjies [neicis]
    tent [tent] tentjies [temcis]
