Description
An Introduction to the Gothic Language by Thomas O. Lambdin provides a carefully graded introduction to the grammar and vocabulary of the Gothic language.
The author has designed this work to be both practical and informative, with examples and exercise material to help students read the extant texts with ease. In addition, the book clarifies the aspectual nature of the Gothic verb, an area that is often neglected in existing textbooks.
Students of Germanic or Indo-European philology will also find a supplementary series of lessons on historical phonology and morphology, which parallel those found in other language studies. The book includes all extant portions of the four gospels, Romans, and First Timothy, with the Gospel According to Luke fully glossed at the foot of each page.
