Principien der Sprachgeschichte (1880) is Hermann Paul's best-known
work. In this book, the German literary scholar and linguist argues
that although language is a product of human culture and the study
of language is therefore best categorised as history, language can
most effectively be analysed with methods taken from the natural
sciences. Paul develops a system of principles that draws heavily
on cognitive and psychological elements in order to account for how
language has developed. In 14 chapters he sets out a detailed
account of the history of language that includes general
observations on the development of language, the consequences of
sound change, semantic shift and the divergence of etymologically
connected words, and aspects of syntax. He also compares written
and spoken language varieties, and the origins of dialects and
standard languages.
The 25th edition of Hermann Paul's grammar is the first step toward
a study grammar that combines the virtues of greater ease of use,
concentration on essentials, and a more reliable description of
Middle High German. The revised accounts of phonology and
morphology have profited in part from the ongoing work on the
extensive Middle High German grammar now in the process of
completion. The description of noun declination has been thoroughly
revised. The syntax section has been extensively reworked and
greatly expanded, with a wealth of references to Middle High German
prose texts.
Nach A1/4ber 100 Jahren seit dem Erscheinen gehArt Pauls Buch
"Prinzipien der Sprachgeschichte" (1. Auflage 1880) nach wie vor zu
den Standardwerken der Sprachwissenschaft.
The new APaulA is the only single-volume of German on historical
principles in which the citation of sources from post-1945
literature figures as prominently as material from earlier periods.
It thus contrives both to enhance our understanding of earlier
literature (notably Classical and Romantic) and to prompt more
searching reflection on the structures and tendencies of modern
German by placing them in a historical perspective. As such it is
addressed very pointedly to teachers of German. Central features of
the new edition are the inclusion of important foreign or
international words and updating to reflect the latest developments
in German vocabulary, notably in the fields of science and
technology, media and public language use, the language of the
Wende and of the GDR. There has also been a thorough revision of
the content index, categorizing the vocabulary from historical and
systematic perspectives and facilitating its use for didactic
purposes.
