Summary "A Gothic Grammar" by Wilhelm Braune is an academic textbook written in the late 19th century. The work serves as both a comprehensive introduction and an instructional guide for students seeking to learn the Gothic language, emphasizing phonology and inflectional grammar while providing reading selections and a glossary for practical application. The opening of this grammar provides insight into its structure and intended use in an academic context. It first outlines the purpose of the book, which is to aid students in gaining a practical understanding of Gothic, enabling them to follow lectures on historical and comparative grammar. Braune emphasizes that the focus will be on phonology and inflection without relying heavily on comparative grammar. Additionally, it advises beginners on how to approach the chapters, indicating that initial focus should be on phonology before progressing to inflections and reading texts, along with guidance on supplemental resources for deeper study. This sets the stage for a systematic exploration of the intricacies of the Gothic language. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
