Abstract:

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.
