Alliteration and Sound Change in Early English - Cambridge Studies in Linguistics
Minkova, Donka (Professor, University of California, Los Angeles)

Examination of the behaviour of onset clusters sheds light on the special treatment of sp-, st-, sk-, and the chronology and motivation of cluster reduction.
