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.
