CONT

On donne le nom de loi de Grimm à l'une des plus importantes lois phonétiques. Découverte en 1822 par Jacob Grimm (1785-1863), cette loi explique les principales correspondances entre les langues germaniques par une mutation survenue à la période préhistorique du germanique : les consonnes aspirées de l'indo-européen [bh, dh, gh] sont devenues les non-aspirées[b, d, g], les sonores [b, d, g] sont devenues les sourdes [p, t, k], tandis que les consonnes sourdes sont devenues les aspirées [p, [theta], h].
