Omschrijving
This volume provides a comprehensive reference grammar of Gothic, the earliest attested language of the Germanic family (apart from runic inscriptions). It is the first in English to draw on the recently discovered Bologna fragment and Crimean graffiti, in addition to the traditional Bible translation explored in most works to date.
D. Gary Miller's The Oxford Gothic Grammar is an impressive volume which fills a void in Gothic studies. Not limiting itself to just morphological paradigms, the 692-page beautifully published opus dives headfirst into encompassing every aspect of Gothic studies, far exceeding the traditional grammars
This comprehensive, authoritative, and thoroughly up-to-date volume is without equal. I wish I had such a resource when I was learning Gothic (and teaching it).
Not since the grammar of von der Gabelentz and Löbe of the first half of the 19th century has there been such a comprehensive account of the Gothic language. Of particular value are the emphasis on word-formation and syntax, and the generous bibliography.
This is massive and comprehensive. The patience and knowledge (in addition to first-rate organization of notes and records) is overwhelming: in the best neophilological tradition, with linguistic acumen. I'm truly impressed. Everything is there and it must be the definitive summation of what can be known about Gothic (and what will remain a mystery/question mark). Magisterial.
D. Gary Miller is Professor Emeritus of Linguistics and the Classics at the Universities of Florida and Colorado, Boulder. His previous books with OUP include Nonfinite Structures in Theory and Change (2002), Latin Suffixal Derivatives in English (2005), Language Change and Linguistic Theory (2 vols; 2010), External Influences on English: From Beginnings to the Renaissance (2012), and English Lexicogenesis (2014).
