Abstract
In his Gotisches Elementarbuch, ? 233, and in his Urgermanische Grammatik, ? 145, Streitberg expresses the belief that the connecting vowel in compound words in Gothic tends to remain after a short-stem syllable, but disappears after a long syllable or trisyllable.

期刊介绍：
Founded in 1903, Modern Philology sets the standard for literary scholarship, history, and criticism. In addition to innovative and scholarly articles (in English) on literature in all modern world languages, MP also publishes insightful book reviews of recent books as well as review articles and research on archival documents. Editor Richard Strier is happy to announce that we now welcome contributions on literature in non-European languages and contributions that productively compare texts or traditions from European and non-European literatures. In general, we expect contributions to be written in (or translated into) English, and we expect quotations from non-English languages to be translated into English as well as reproduced in the original.
