He is best known as the discoverer of Grimm's Law, the author ( with his brother ) of the monumental Deutsches Wörterbuch, the author of Deutsche Mythologie and, more popularly, as one of the Brothers Grimm, as the editor of Grimm's Fairy Tales.

Grimm's monumental dictionary of the German Language, the Deutsches Wörterbuch, was started in 1838 and first published in 1854.

During 18th to 19th century Romanticism, there were various misguided attempts to explain the obscure term, or to elevate it to the status of a remnant of pagan antiquity, scoffed at by Grimm's entry in his Deutsches Wörterbuch.

In 1852 he began a detailed response to Grimm's Deutsches Wörterbuch-of which he was very critical-leading to the publication of his own dictionary of the German language, Wörterbuch der Deutschen Sprache published from 1859 to 1865.

Kuhn noted that since Proto-Indo-European ( PIE ) / b / was very rare, and since this PIE / b /, via Grimm's law, is the only source of regularly inherited / p /' s in words in Germanic languages, the many words with / p /' s which do occur must have some other language as source.

As the field on which my tent was pitched was a favorite natural playground for the kids of the neighborhood, I had made many friends among them, taking part in their after-school games and trying desperately to translate Grimm's Fairy Tales into an understandable French as we gathered around the fire in front of the tent.

Himmerland ( Old Danish Himbersysel ) is generally thought to preserve their name, in an older form without Grimm's law ( PIE k > Germ.

Since Grimm's time, linguists have identified the goddess as a Germanic form of the reconstructed Proto-Indo-European goddess of the dawn, * Hausos.

Like most Indo-European roots in the Germanic languages, it was altered by Grimm's law, so that Indo-European / p / > / f /, and / d / > / t /, as the German cognate furzen also manifests.

At some time in European prehistory, consonant changes according to Grimm's Law created a * g from the * gh and a * t from the * d. This same law more or less rules out * ghedh -, The * dh in that case would become a * d instead of a * t.

The Brothers Grimm ( 1785 – 1863 & 1786 – 1859 ) not only wrote the popular Grimm's Fairy Tales, but were among the founding fathers of German philology and German studies.

The purely scientific side of Grimm's character developed slowly.

This criticism is said to have had a considerable influence on the direction of Grimm's studies.

Grimm's scientific character is notable for its combination of breadth and unity.

Grimm's results have been greatly modified by the wider range of comparison and improved methods of investigation that now characterize linguistics, and many questions he raised will probably remain obscure, but his book's influence has been profound.

Grimm's famous Deutsche Grammatik ( German Grammar ) was the outcome of his purely philological work.

The wide distance between the two stages of Grimm's development in these two editions is significantly shown by the fact that while the first edition gives only the inflections, in the second volume phonology takes up no fewer than 600 pages, more than half of the whole volume.

Prior to Grimm's time, philology was nothing but a more or less laborious and conscientious dilettanteism, with occasional flashes of scientific inspiration.

In Grimm's first editions, his Icelandic paradigms are based entirely on Rask's grammar, and in his second edition, he relied almost entirely on Rask for Old English.

Jacob is recognized for enunciating Grimm's law, the Germanic Sound Shift, that was first observed by the Danish philologist Rasmus Christian Rask.

Grimm's law was the first non-trivial systematic sound change to be discovered.

Grimm's Law, also known as ' Rask's-Grimm's Rule ' is the first law in linguistics concerning a non-trivial sound change.

It is true that a certain bitterness of feeling afterwards sprang up between Grimm and Rask, but this may have well been the fault of the latter, who, impatient of contradiction and irritable in controversy, refused to consider the value of Grimm's views when they involved modification of his own.

Grimm's text-editions were mostly prepared in conjunction with his brother.

Grimm's work as a jurist was influential for the development of the history of law, particularly in Northern Europe.

Grimm's Weisthümer ( 4 vol., 1840 – 63 ), a compilation of partially oral legal traditions from rural Germany, allows research of the development of written law in Northern Europe.

A masculine Elb is reconstructed from the plural by Jacob Grimm, Deutsches Wörterbuch, who rejects Elfe as a ( then, in the 1830s ) recent anglicism.

Jacob Grimm in his Deutsches Wörterbuch deplored the " unhochdeutsch " form Elf, borrowed " unthinkingly " from the English, and Tolkien was inspired by Grimm to recommend reviving the genuinely German form in his Guide to the Names in The Lord of the Rings ( 1967 ) and Elb, Elben was consequently reintroduced in the 1972 German translation of The Lord of the Rings.

A current project at the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities is underway to update the Deutsches Wörterbuch to modern academic standards.

This dictionary is the Swedish counterpart of the Oxford English Dictionary ( OED ) or the Deutsches Wörterbuch ( DWB ).

In addition to writing and modifying folk tales, the brothers wrote collections of well-respected German and Scandinavian mythologies and in 1808 wrote a definitive German dictionary ( Deutsches Wörterbuch ) that remained incomplete in their lifetime.

The first volume of their German Dictionary ( Deutsches Wörterbuch ) was not published until 1854.
