The most important modern research on characteristic features and the history of language usage in Berlin are those of Agathe Lasch and Hermann Tetjchebt. Both authors disagree on the question of Upper Saxon influence on early Berlin language. As early as the end of the 18th century there was a lively discussion of problems concerning the representative standard of German pronunciation and other regional differences by teachers of Berlin grammar schools. They recommended a Northern German variant of pronunciation instead of the traditional Saxon one. The membership of the Royal Academy of Sciences gave them an occasion to find a public audience and to produce a noticeable effect.
Karl Philipp Moritz über Sprache, Hochdeutsch, Berliner Umgangssprache und märkischen Dialekt
(1995)
Jacob Grimm was a very productive member of the Royal Academy of Sciences in Berlin. Between 1842 and 1863 he made speeches at least on 66 days of sitting. Grimm was one of the academy’s most active and most famous speakers. Many of his speeches were not only concerned with philological questions. He also confessed his views about other scientific disciplines or problems of public interest. Grimm emphasized the international character of sciences and expressed the high respect he payed to the cultural traditions of other peoples.
