释义 | Grassmannn. 1. Grassmann's Law n. (also with lower-case initial in second element) [compare German Grassmanns Gesetz (1880 or earlier)] Linguistics a phonetic law formulated by Hermann Grassmann which states that where two aspirated plosives occurred in neighbouring syllables in Indo-European, dissimilation took place and the first of the two lost its aspiration in Greek and Sanskrit.E.g. the case cited in quot. 1886, where an earlier χ (/kh/) became unaspirated κ ( /k/) owing to the influence of the following θ ( /th/).This law was formulated to explain apparent exceptions to Grimm's law (see Grimm's law n. at law n.1 17c(c)) and published in 1863 ( Zeitschrift für vergleichende Sprachforschung 12 81–138).
