Abstract:

Jacob Grimm (1785-1863) became a household name around the world throughthe collections of fairy tales he compiled with his brother Wilhelm.Jacob's specialism was the history of the German language, which he studiedin the broader context of Indo-European philology. Others working in thisburgeoning field included the older scholar Rasmus Rask and Grimm'scontemporary Franz Bopp (also published in this series). Grimm's two-volumeGeschichte der deutschen Sprache, reissued here, was first published in1848. It is noteworthy especially for the chapter on the major sound shiftnow known as Grimm's Law or die erste deutsche Lautverschiebung, which setsout regular mappings between Germanic consonants and those found in earlierIndo-European languages, such as English father and Latin pater. The bookalso contains a wealth of comparative material on phonology, vocabulary andgrammar within Germanic and across the Indo-European spectrum.
