Rasmus Rask and Vilhelm Thomsen

View through CrossRef
Abstract This paper is a tribute not only to Hans Frede Nielsen but also to all the other Danish linguists on behalf of all the Finnish linguists. Namely, Finland would hardly have become a “superpower” in Uralic studies without the boost of the two great Danish Indo-Europeanists, Rasmus Rask and Vilhelm Thomsen, who were instrumental in launching the two 19th-century comparative linguistic revolutions in Finland: Palaeogrammarian and Neogrammarian. While Rask served as a role model for the earliest Finnish Uralicists A. J. Sjögren and M. A. Castrén, Thomsen started the modern era in Finnic and Sámi studies, inspiring the foremost Finnish Neogrammarians E. N. Setälä and J. J. Mikkola.
