  Grimm's law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Grimm's law (also known as the First Germanic Sound Shift) is a set of statements describing the inherited Proto-Indo-European (PIE) stops as they developed in Proto-Germanic (PGmc, the common ancestor of the Germanic branch of the Indo-European family) sometime in the 1st millennium BC.
Grimm's law was the first non-trivial systematic sound change to be discovered in linguistics; its formulation was a turning point in the development of linguistics, enabling the introduction of a rigorous methodology to historical linguistic research.
The "law" was discovered by Friedrich von Schlegel in 1806 and Rasmus Christian Rask in 1818, and later elaborated (i.e.

After the expulsion of Jerome and the reinstalment of an elector, Grimm was appointed in 1813 secretary of legation, to accompany the Hessian minister to the headquarters of the allied army.
In this work Grimm showed the importance of a linguistic study of the old laws, and the light that can be thrown on many a dark passage in them by a comparison of the corresponding words and expressions in the other old cognate dialects.
Grimms results have been greatly modified by the wider range of comparison and improved methods of investigation which now characterize linguistic science, and many of the questions raised by him will probably for ever remain obscure; but his book will always be one of the most fruitful and suggestive that have ever been written.

In 1837, the Brothers Grimm joined five of their colleague professors at the University of Göttingen to protest against the abolition of the liberal constitution of the state of Hanover by King Ernest Augustus I of Hanover.
The Grimms helped foment a nationwide democratic public opinion in Germany and are cherished as the progenitors of the German democratic movement, whose revolution of 1848/1849 was crushed brutally by the Kingdom of Prussia, where there was established a constitutional monarchy.

The so-called laws which are common to the bulk of the community are purely and properly customary lawsthat is to say, laws which are set or imposed by the general opinion of the community, but are not enforced by legal or political sanctions.
The connection of laws with each other as principles is properly the subject matter of historical jurisprudence, the ideal perfection of which would be the establishment of the general laws governing the evolution of law in the technical sense.
The term public law he confines strictly to that portion of the law which is concerned with political conditions, and which ought not to be opposed to the rest of the law, but ought to be inserted in the law of persons as one of the limbs or members of that supplemental department.

 Grimm's law. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
principle of relationships in Indo-European languages, first formulated by Jakob Grimm in 1822 and a continuing subject of interest and investigation to 20th-century linguists.
The first sound shift, affecting both English and German, was from the early phonetic positions documented in the ancient, or classical, Indo-European languages (Sanskrit, Greek, Latin) to those still evident in the Low German languages, including English; the second shift affected only the High German languages, e.g., standard German.
Grimm’s law shows that the classical voiceless stops (k,t,p) became voiceless aspirates (h,th,f) in English and mediae (h,d,f) in German, e.g., the initial sounds of Latin pater, English father, German Vater, and in the middle of Latin frater, English brother, German Bruder.

Ironically, it was Savigny's emphasis on the philological aspect of law that led Jacob and Wilhelm to dedicate themselves to the study of ancient German literature and folklore.
Though the Grimms made important discoveries in their research on ancient German literature and customs, they were neither the founders of folklore as a study in Germany, nor were they the first to begin collecting and publishing folk and fairy tales.
The Grimms believed strongly in sharing their research and findings with friends and congenial scholars, and between 1807 and 1812 they began collecting tales with the express purpose of sending them to Brentano, as well as of using them as source material for gaining a greater historical understanding of the German language and customs.

An analysis of the use of the concept in ordinary language, the case law in all constitutionally relevant periods, and the policies that serve to justify the obscenity exception to the First Amendment all speak just as well to depictions of violence as to material of a sexual nature.
See Maria Tatar, The Hard Facts of the Grimms' Fairy Tales at 239 n.28 (noting that Disney lessened the emphasis on the evil queen by concentrating on the dwarves, who had not even been named in the Grimms' version).
The focus of obscenity, in terms of statute and case law, on sex alone was in the Victorian Era and seems to be just another manifestation of the era's strong concerns over sex.

Template:Indo-European The Germanic languages form one of the branches of the Indo-European languages, spoken by the Germanic peoples who settled in northern Europe along the borders of the Roman Empire.
They are characterised by a number of unique linguistic features, most famously the consonant change known as Grimms law.
Some early (roughly 2nd century AD) Germanic languages developed runic alphabets of their own, but use of these alphabets was comparatively limited.
