ˌneo-graˈmmarian, ˌneograˈmmarian [f. neo- + grammarian.] A member of the Junggrammatiker. Also as adj.
1885Encycl. Brit. XVIII. 782/2 This younger school (often branded with the name of Neo-Grammarians, ‘Junggrammatiker’, by its opponents real and imaginary) is marked by certain distinct tendencies. 1933L. Bloomfield Lang. xx. 354 The neo-grammarian insists..that his hypothesis..sorts out the resemblances that are due to factors other than phonetic change. Ibid. 355 The opponents of the neo-grammarian hypothesis claim that resemblances which do not fit into recognized types of phonetic correspondence may be due merely to sporadic occurrence or deviation or non-occurrence of sound-change. 1947E. Sturtevant Introd. Linguistic Sci. vii. 70 In the 1870's a number of scholars announced..that phonetic laws have no exceptions. The earliest declaration..seems to have been made by August Leskien in 1876, but the discovery really belonged to a group, who, from that time to this, have been called the neo-grammarians (Junggrammatiker). 1965Language XLI. 188 Mention of the neogrammarians..can elicit so much emotional noise that no one can hear what you are saying. 1972Ibid. XLVIII. 437 The subsequent section illustrates..the Neogrammarian position. Ibid., Arens refers to Saussure's association with the Neogrammarians. |
