- Silent_e abstract "In English orthography, many words feature a silent e, most commonly at the end of a word or morpheme. Typically it represents a vowel sound that was formerly pronounced, but became silent in late Middle English or Early Modern English.In a large class of words, as a consequence of a series of historical sound changes, including the Great Vowel Shift affecting long vowels, the former presence of the vowel sound represented by the e left its mark in the form of a change in the pronunciation of the preceding vowel. This can be seen in words such as rid /rɪd/ and ride /raɪd/, in which the presence of the final, unpronounced e appears to alter the sound of the preceding i. A silent e which has this effect is sometimes called a magic e. The normal effect is to convert a short vowel sound to a long one, but because of the complications of the Great Vowel Shift, the long vowel is not simply a lengthened version of the corresponding short one, and in most cases (as in the example of ride) is in fact a diphthong.This vowel-altering effect of silent e has developed into a spelling convention, which may be put to use in new words (such as bike) in which there is no historical reason for the presence of the e other than the need to mark the pronunciation of the preceding vowel.".
