Bammesberger, Alfred. 1978. "Zu Lukas 1,5 der Gotischen Bibel" Die Sprache 24.52-53
An example of standard textual exposition, showing (perhaps un-self-consciously) how syntax and semantics are used to explain each other. Is this practice dangerously circular?Bammesberger, Alfred. 1976. "Gotisch awethi" Münchener Studien zur Sprachwissenschaft 34.5-7
Bennett, William. 1960. An Introduction to the Gothic Language New York: M.L.A.
As an introductory text, this book reveals some of the thought techniques used by linguists when wrestling with textual problems.Bennett, William. 1960. The Gothic Commentary on the Gospel of John New York: M.L.A.
Bennett tangles (mainly in chapter seven) with some semantic questions of interpretation. One of the most recent editions.

Wright, Joseph. 1899. A Primer of the Gothic Language (2nd edition) Oxford: the Clarendon Press.
One of the very best grammar books. This first edition appears to have been issued in 1892. Contains a detailed grammar, texts, and a glossary. A third edition was issued under a slightly different title early in this century.Mossé, Fernand. 1950. Bibliographia Gothica. Mediaeval Studies 12.237-324

This is, as far as I can tell, the only bibliography devoted solely to Gothic; there are, of course, numerous entries under "Gothic" in all bibliographies dealing with early Germanic languages.Brainerd, et al. 1979 Experimental and Applied Linguistics in Canada Montreal: Didier
An example of typical Canadian scholarship, in that it contains only Canadian works, and therefore an example of typical Canadian uselessness.Maison des Sciences de l'Homme, Service d'Echange d'Informations Scientifiques. 1971.

I-E roots traced to etymologically related words in the I-E languages, including Gothic. Acknowledged as a good (indispensible) book by the academic community.Pott, A.G. 1873 Etymologische Forschungen Detmold: Meyer'sche Hofbuchhandlung.
The esecond edition appeared in 1873. This is an eight-book set, confusingly divided into an indeterminate number of "Bänder" and "Abteile" and "Hauptstücke". It takes I-E roots and traces them into the I-E languages, much like Pokorny.Leiss, P. 1983. Semantische Univseralen Goppingen: Kummerle.
