Abstract:
The Gothic Language: Grammar, Genetic Provenance and Typology,
Readings, now in its second edition, is designed for students and scholars of
the oldest known language with a sizeable corpus, belonging to the English,
German, Dutch, and Scandinavian language clade. The Gothic language is
seminal to the history of the study of each of these languages. Gothic
grammar is a standard text in courses on Indo-European and general
linguistics since Gothic serves as the prototype Germanic language in the
study of historical comparative world language typologies. Particularly pan-
Germanic is the innermost core of the grammar, the genetic phonology, which
is reconstructed within the most recent approaches of laryngeal and glottalic
theories. Most challenging to traditional viewpoints is the total novel
restructuring of Gothic synchronic phonology via current theoretical
approaches such as underspecification theory and optimality theory. While
the Gothic inflectional morphology is rendered in full paradigmatic display, its
understanding is enhanced by the application of underspecification theory and
the use of inheritance networks, a computational linguistic concept. Brief
"Syntactic Considerations" concluding the grammar present a network of
head-driven phrase structures. This book also brings the reader into the
ambience of the fourth-century Goths. Readings from the Wulfilian Bible, the
extant eight pages of the Skeireins, together with a glossary, definitions of
linguistic technical terms, a bibliography, and an index complete this volume.
