"Grimm Language" addresses a number of issues in the Grimms fairy tales from a (Germanic) linguist s point of view. In sections dealing with the Grimms use of regional dialect material, various grammatical constructions, and specific nouns and adjectives in their "Children s and Household Tales," the author argues that the Grimms were consciously or unconsciously following a number of objectives.
The book will be of interest not only to those interested in fairy tales, and the Grimms in particular, but also more generally to those interested in the intersection between linguistics and literary scholarship.
