Discover the fascinating world of Gothic language with Wilhelm Braune's 'A Gothic Grammar, with selections for reading and a glossary'. This comprehensive guide offers a practical approach to learning the Gothic language, with a focus on phonology and inflection. The book provides ample material for independent study and includes reading exercises and a glossary that serves as an index to the grammar. In this latest edition, Braune has added explanatory notes and an expanded glossary to make the learning process even easier. While some may wish for a more extensive treatment of word formation and syntax, Braune believes that these elements are best understood in connection with other Germanic and Indo-European languages. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced student, Gothic Grammar is the perfect tool for mastering this ancient language.
This volume provides a comprehensive reference grammar of Gothic, the earliest attested language of the Germanic family (apart from runic inscriptions), dating to the fourth century. The bulk of the extant Gothic corpus is a translation of the Bible, of which only a portion remains, and which has been the focus of most previous works. This book is the first in English to also draw on the recently discovered Bologna fragment and Crimean graffiti, original Gothic texts that provide more insights into the language. Following an overview of the history of the Goths and the origin of the Gothic language, Gary Miller explores all the major topics in Gothic grammar, beginning with the alphabet and phonology, and proceeding through subjects such as case functions, prepositions and particles, compounding, derivation, and verbal and sentential syntax. He also presents a selection of Gothic texts with notes and vocabulary, and ends with a chapter on linearization, including an overview of Gothic in its Germanic context. The Oxford Gothic Grammar will be an invaluable reference for all Indo-Europeanists, Germanic scholars, and historical linguists, from advanced undergraduate level upwards.
