In Celtic linguistics, affection (also known as vowel affection or infection) is the change in the quality of a vowel under the influence of the vowel of the following, final syllable. Subsequently, the vowel triggering the change was normally lost. The two main types of affection are ''a''-infection and ''i''-infection.〔Benjamin W. Fortson, ''Indo-European Language and Culture: An Introduction''. 2nd edition. Blackwell, 2010. ISBN 978-1-4051-8895-1, p. 317, 321, 328.〕 ''i''-infection is an example of i-mutation, and may be compared to Germanic umlaut. More rarely, the term "affection" (like "umlaut") may be heard applied to other languages, and is then a synonym for i-mutation generally. ==See also== *Apocope *Metaphony *I-mutation 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Affection (linguistics)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
