Historical precursors of this language experienced three distinct shortening processes resulting in trisyllabic laxness. (15[1])The Brown Corpus and a Survey of this language’s Usage grounded a “Comprehensive Grammar” of this language produced by Randolph Quirk. Dialects of this language are separated by the Humber-Lune Line. This language’s (-5[1])grammar was studied (15[1])by (*) Otto Jespersen, (-5[2])who (10[1])described how long (10[1])vowels (10[1])in this language (10[1])broke from their (-5[1])spelling in a process he called (10[1])the Great (10[1])Vowel (10[2])Shift. (10[30]-5[1])The (10[3])“Original (10[3])Pronunciation” (10[3])dialect (10[1])reconstructs (10[1])the phonology (-5[1])of this language’s (-5[1])Early Modern form (10[2])and is named in contrast to contemporary “received pronunciation.” (10[2])For 10 points, (10[1])name this language whose spelling was standardized by Samuel Johnson’s dictionary.
