Henry Sweet fut un influent philologue et phonéticien anglais, spécialisé dans les langues germaniques, notamment l'anglais ancien et le vieux norrois. Ses travaux novateurs ont exploré des questions plus larges de phonétique, de grammaire et de pédagogie des langues, et nombre de ses idées restent essentielles dans les cercles universitaires actuels. Pionnier dans l'enseignement des langues, Sweet a mis l'accent sur la langue parlée et la phonétique, produisant des œuvres fondamentales qui ont jeté les bases des études phonétiques modernes et de la description scientifique de la parole. Ses contributions, en particulier à la dialectologie de l'anglais ancien et à l'étude de la prononciation, continuent d'enrichir la recherche linguistique.
