As we know, variation of stress has greatly influenced the development of pronouns. Strongly-stressed and lightly-stressed forms coexist for a time with only one form eventually becoming generally accepted by the majority of people. This general acceptance, however, does not lead to permanent fixation. Minor forms can at anytime gain popularity, a process that is repeated in history. For instance, the regular ME development of the OE first person singular ic was ich. Along with this strongly stressed ich, all dialects of ME has the lightly stressed i /i/ (later written I). When ich disappeared, i started to be used in all positions, developing a strong-stressed pronunciation /i:/ for the stressed positions. From this lengthened /i:/, through the Great Vowel Shift, the present-day pronunciation /ai/ was created (Brook 1965: 104).
