Grafemas de alargamiento fonético-fonológico de la lengua alemana con consideración de la estructura de la sílaba en el marco de la fonología suprasegmental

Abstract

This paper discusses that the opposition of long and short vowels in Modern Standard Gennan is not only segmental but prosodic, and how the segmental sequences are organized into prosodic constituents. The Gennan orthographic lengthening signs, which are responsible for all phonological correlates of vowel quantity, are presented and the attention is then focused on the h-sign (in words like dehnen, sehen, Mühl, Schuh). A classification is made and their positions and functions are explored. Finally, the benefits of using these orthographic signs in the learning and teaching of Gennan as a second language are argued. 1 Las más destacadas son "Ortografia deutsch" de Fabian Frang): en 1531, la de Valentin Ickelsamer ("Die rechte weis aufs Kürzsist lesen ru lemen") en 1527, la de Hieronymus Freyer en 1675, o la gramática de Adelung en 1781.
