Inhaltsangabe

""An Introduction, Phonological, Morphological, Syntactic To The Gothic Of Ulfilas"" is a book written by Thomas Le Marchant Douse and published in 1886. The book serves as an introduction to the Gothic language, which was spoken by the Goths in the 4th century AD and is now extinct. The Gothic language is known primarily through the work of Ulfilas, a bishop who translated the Bible into Gothic.The book is divided into three parts: phonology, morphology, and syntax. In the phonology section, Douse explains the sounds of the Gothic language and how they are represented in writing. The morphology section covers the structure of words in Gothic, including the different types of nouns, verbs, and adjectives. The syntax section deals with the arrangement of words in sentences and the rules governing their use.Throughout the book, Douse provides numerous examples of Gothic words and sentences, along with their English translations. He also includes a glossary of Gothic words and an index for easy reference.Overall, ""An Introduction, Phonological, Morphological, Syntactic To The Gothic Of Ulfilas"" is a comprehensive guide to the Gothic language, providing a thorough understanding of its structure and usage. It is a valuable resource for linguists, historians, and anyone interested in the study of ancient languages.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Reseña del editor

Mi PREFACE. y KyK y s This book was originally designed to accompany an edition of Ulfilas for which I was collecting materials some eight or nine years ago, but which various considerations led me to lay aside. A s, however, it had long seemed to me equally strange and deplorable that not a single work adapted to aid a student in acquiring a knowledge of Gothic was to be found in the English book-market, I proceeded to give most of the time at my disposal to the building up of this I ntroduction, on a somewhat larger scale than was at first intended, in the hope of being able to promote the study of a dialect which, apart from its native force and beauty, has special claims on the attention of more than one important class of students. By the student of linguistic science, indeed, these claims are at once admitted; for the Gothic is one of the pillars on which rests the comparative grammar both of the older I ndo-E uropean languages in general, and also, pre-eminently, of the Teutonic cluster of dialects in particular. But a good knowledge of Gothic is scarcely less valuable to the student of the English language, at any rate, of the Ancient English or A nglo-S axon; upon the phonology of which, and indeed the whole grammar, the Gothic sheds a flood of light that is not to be got from any other source.
