Excerpt from The Sounds and History of the German Language No apology 18 needed for an attempt to write an intro duction to the Phonetics and History of the German Language that is simple enough to be intelligible to stu dents without linguistic erudition, and at the same time sufficiently comprehensive to meet to a reasonable degree the requirements of the teacher of German. Phonetics and historical grammar have at last come into their own as legitimate and indispensable elements of the training of foreign language teachers, but a text-book for these subjects adjusted to the complicated needs of our colleges has so far been a desideratum.

This simple introduction to the history of the German language seeks to provide students who have some knowledge of modern German, but no knowledge either of its development or of linguistic theories, with a short account of the essential factors – chronological, geographical and linguistic – and their interrelation. The material is arranged in three parts. The first traces the history of the German language from its origins in Indo-European through the pre-documentary Germanic period and the Middle Ages to the present day. In the second part the development of the German vocabulary is described, including word formation, borrowing, and change in meaning; and the book concludes with a section on changes in sounds, grammatical forms, and syntax. Emphasis is placed on the development of the standard literary language in its historical and social context, while such topics as dialects and the relationship of German to other Germanic and European languages are treated very briefly as the need arises. The inclusion of maps, some specimen passages of German its early stages, suggestions for further reading after each chapter, and an extensive classified bibliography also contribute to making this a useful introduction to the subject and a reliable foundation for more advanced work.

Essay from the year 2007 in the subject German Studies - Linguistics, grade: 1,7, University of Birmingham (German Department), course: Seminar: "The Origins of the German language", language: English, abstract: 1. Introduction Due to the fact that the sound shifts belong to the most important sound change events, which contributed to the origin of many European and particularly the German language, and furthermore also created phonologically interesting changes, this work deals with the subject of the First and Second Sound Shift. At the beginning of my essay I like to give a brief historical description of the early study of the sound shifts which was mainly found by Jacob Grimms pioneer work in the area of the philology and furthermore I will describes the sound shifts in general. Since the terms First and Second Sound Shift lead to the assumptiona that there is a direct connection between these two phenomena of the sound change, the methodology of the representation and description of one sound shift concerned is applied with a high similarity to the other one. 2. The early study of the sound shifts 2.1. A short historical outline The systematic, Germanic linguistics with a critically searching and historically comparative aspect developed at the beginning of the 19th century. Reason of this was the occupation of the German countries by Napoleon I. and the hence resulting all-embracing return of the underdogs to the history and the values of the German nation. In their studies of the language the Brothers Grimm saw the possibility of meeting this kind of national feeling unaltered and prototypical. In particular the older of the brothers, Jacob Grimm, consecrated himself to the rediscovery and research of the language of the "old ages", but in addition to the mythology, the legends, folk songs, fairy tale etc. of the Germanic speaking area, since from his point of view a perfect understanding of the modern language is only ensured if one considers this topi

The most accessible, well-balanced history of the German language available! No comparable work is available in English or German that gives readers an adequate foundation in the methods, goals, and results of historical-comparative linguistics as they apply to the German language and its historical antecedents. Waterman’s monograph excels through its clear presentation of materials, the extensive use of charts and maps, and a well-organized bibliography. A wealth of examples documents a surprisingly broad review of German language issues.
