A. BIBLIOGRAPHY

(Editor's Note: The author's original bibliography contained errors and was very much incomplete, especially with respect to the sources of [mostly Germanic] texts quoted or referred to in the book. This editor is in the process of reconstructing the bibliography, attempting to (a) correct the existing entries, (b) supply missing entries and, separately, (c) identify the sources for texts. This page includes such reconstructed content as is currently available; it will be updated, pending future developments. Text sources are cited in a separate appendix [B] as they are identified. The author's introduction, and his bibliography as amended & extended, follows.)

As might be expected of attention to Germanic in the country central to Indo-European linguistics in the 19th and 20th centuries, the German bibliography is enormous; it can be accessed through bibliographical journals like those of the Indogermanische Gesellschaft or the Modern Language Association, as well as in the International Linguistic Bibliography. Early linguistic attention was devoted to phonology and morphology, to the exclusion of most other aspects. Of the four prominent works on Proto-Germanic itself, namely those by Hirt, Kluge, Prokosch, and Streitberg, only Hirt deals with syntax. In addition to these we list, here, only major or distinctive works on the grammar in addition to source cited in the text.
