Karl Brugman Books

This linguist was a pivotal figure in the Neogrammarian school, emphasizing the inviolability of phonetic laws and the crucial role of analogy in language change. His monumental work, "Outline of the Comparative Grammar of the Indo-Germanic Languages," is foundational for understanding phonology, morphology, and word formation in Indo-European languages. His radical approach involved presenting data empirically, requiring readers to interpret it themselves, making the study of his work profoundly rewarding. His scholarship remains indispensable to Indo-European studies.
