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 * Jean-Francois R. Mondon,
Linguist List *
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). * Wayne Harbert, Cornell University *
Not since the grammar of von der Gabelentz and Loebe 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. * Patrick Stiles, University College London *
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. *
Dieter Wanner, Ohio State University *
