Heinrich Schmid

Selected writings on Romansh

Edited by editionmevinapuorger and the Phonogram Archives (2020)

‘Heinrich Schmid? – That's the one with Rumantsch Grischun.’ ‘Yes, but not only that,’ we are tempted to reply, and this volume aims to show why this attribution is correct but incomplete. 
In his work, Heinrich Schmid captured the Romansh language in different yet interconnected facets: in its diversity across geographical areas, in its development throughout history, and in its situation as a minority language that should be promoted within the framework of language policy. This edition brings these aspects together, thereby honouring Heinrich Schmid's work with his unique combination of interests.
