Described by Eduard Sievers in 1878, this  law  has been the subject of controversy ever since. Is it related to a similar phenomenon in Vedic Sanskrit, and was it, therefore, Indo-European in origin? What is its relationship to alliterative verse in Germanic? This study addresses such questions and demonstrates that Sievers' Law has played a wider role in Old English than heretofore demonstrated.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Lang Inc., International Academic Publi","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46915929505943,"sku":"9780820430423","price":4682.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780820430423.webp?v=1771257382","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/sievers-law-in-germanic-9780820430423","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
