Abstract:

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. These included reinforcing
the overall Germanic impression of the tales (though we now know that many
of them had French inspiration), striking the right balance between archaic
and colloquial language to arrive at an ideal narrative style for what was
arguably a new genre, and promoting or at least reflecting stereotypes
concerning the proper roles for boys and girls. 

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.
