Otto Behaghel, date unknown

Otto Behaghel (German pronunciation: [ˈɔtoː beˈhaːɡəl]; May 3, 1854 in Karlsruhe – October 9, 1936 in Munich) was a Germanist and professor in Heidelberg, Basel, and Gießen.[1][2]

He added theoretical contributions to the German and Middle High German language via philology and more.[3] He formulated Behaghel's laws that describe the principles that govern word positions in a sentence. His work is still important in Theme and rheme research.
