本研究探讨共时辅音-元音协同发音对高后元音历时前置的贡献。本文的第一部分利用德语元音的实证分析来解释为什么高后元音更容易在历时上比高前元音更容易退缩。本研究还与英格兰标准口音中后高元音前置的历时过程中协同发音关系的变化相联系。结果表明，这种声音的变化，在进步导致了在前面的上下文中的变体的音位化和随之而来的重新调整，在感知后面的变体对前面。总的结论是，广泛的分离的语音变体引起的辅音上下文提供了条件，高后元音前置，可以实现在一个声音的变化过程中，通过他们的渐进接近的感知和生产。
The study is concerned with the contribution of synchronic consonant-on-vowel coarticulation to the diachronic fronting of high back vowels. The first part of the paper makes use of an empirical analysis of German vowels to explain why high back vowels are more likely to front diachronically than high front vowels are to retract. This study is then linked to the changing coarticulatory relationships in the course of diachronic high back vowel fronting in the standard accent of England. The results show that this sound change in progress has resulted in a phonologization of the variants in a fronting context and a consequential realignment in perception of the back variants towards the front. The general conclusion is that the wide separation of phonetic variants induced by consonantal context provides the conditions for high back vowel fronting which can be fulfilled during a sound change in progress by their progressive approximation in perception and production.
