A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In the course of my lectures oh Gothic Grammar I long ago felt the need for an ouiline being in the hands of my hearers, in order to enable them to take up the study of the Gothic language for themselves. There was required for this a clear representation of Phonology and Etijmology, giving a view of the language as far as possible by itself without admixture of scraps from Comparative Grammar. For, an understanding of the Germano-G othic Grammar from a. scientific point of view can certainly not be obtained from an outline, and unsystematic remarks must needs confuse the I teginner, quite irrespective of the fact that iti the manuals commonly used, the science of language stands 07i a rather antiquated basis. The present Grammar will thus also enable him who is ignorant of Comparative Grammar to learn Gothic. Pre-historic questions have therefore been as far as possible avoided, or whoi this could not entirely be done, treated only from a purely Gothic point of view. Reference has rather been made to another Germanic dialect, e.g. the Old High German. It has been found necessary to leave over for lectures the scientific explanation of the facts stated in the Grammar. It is also another purpose of this book to serve as a basis for these lectures, and to this in its preparation constant attention has been given. It will be seen that the somewhat detailed treatment of Phonology is largely influenced by this consideration, since, for instance, such examples under the Consonants have been chosen as can be made use of in the demonstration of the Laulverschiebung) .I ntreating )S hifting or Pcrmutaliou of Consonanls. The former (erm is used by March, the taller by Whilney.
