In OED the following are so marked: absorbedness estrangedness forcedness assuredness exposedness markedness confirmedness fixedness surprisedness The following have ed or 'd as alternative pronunciation: ashamedness pleasedness detachedness preparedness But 'd is the only pronunciation in blurredness, subduedness. However, many other words are not specially marked, and it seems likely that it has become increasingly rare for -ed- to be separately sounded. Ь It is acceptable not to make -ed- a separate syllable in words of this type. 2.8 -ein(e) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- The ending -ein(e) (originally disyllabic) is now usually pronounced like -ene in polythene in caffeine codeine casein protein 2.9 -eity =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- The traditional pronunciation of e in this termination is as in me, e.g. in contemporaneity heterogeneity spontaneity corporeity homogeneity velleity deity simultaneity Among younger speakers there is a marked tendency to substitute the sound of e in caf‚, suede. The reasons for this are probably: 1. The difficulty of making the sounds of e (as in me) and i distinct when they come together. Cf. the words rabies, species, protein, etc. 83 |
