Hermann Grassmann: his contributions to historical linguistics and speech acoustics

John J. Ohala ()

A chapter in From Past to Future: Graßmann's Work in Context, 2011, pp 345-352 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Hermann Grassmann’s achievements in linguistics are well known and justly cele+brated. His work in acoustic phonetics is less well known but has been noted. What I propose to do in this paper is to provide for the non-linguist reader some background to Grassmann’s work in both areas and then offer a brief speculation on how he was able to accomplish so much in these and other domains.
