About This Book

The book offers a practical introduction to the Gothic language, presenting phonology and inflectional systems in self-contained chapters on vowels, consonants, and declension, accompanied by reading selections and a comprehensive glossary. Explanatory notes, derivational analyses, and correspondence information are provided alongside full grammatical paradigms to support learners working without lectures. It gives guidance on study order and exercise use and points to supplementary comparative works for deeper study. The glossary includes inflectional forms, derivations, and textual citations, functioning also as an index to the grammar and the reading material.

TRANSCRIBER'S NOTES

PM. Note: Balg's translation is a bit awkward. He knew quite a number of languages so well that he wrote books about them, but he had is own view of English orthography. He frequently left out "e" when the "e" was not pronounced, like in "ar" (for "are"), "hav", "givn" etc. He did this consistently, so this was his deliberate choice.

On p. x the reference "Brugm., Grundriss der vergleichenden grammatik der indog. sprachen von K. Brugmann (Engl. edition). Strassburg 1886-92" is the German ed.; the English one, to which refs. in this book apply, is Elements of the Comparative Grammar of the Indo-Germanic Languages, New York 1888-95.

Silently corrected simple spelling, grammar, and typographical errors.

Retained anachronistic and non-standard spellings as printed.
