metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article deals with the debatable question of the ethnical identity of the Ostrogothic historian
  of the 6th century Jordanes, whose main work “Getica” is constantly under scrutiny
  by both contemporary historians and linguists. The article proposes the necessity of the linguo-
  historical analysis of “Getica” carried out on the interdisciplinatory basis and aimed at
  obtaining some new information confirming Jordanes’ Gothic origin. The paper concentrates
  on Jordanes’ unambiguous statement of his Gotic origin whose verbal form has been evoking
  more than a century-long discussion of his Gothic ethnical identity. This statement is analysed
  in comparsion with Late Latin sources and Gothic Bible, which testifies to a similarity in
  Jordanes’ manner of writing. The historical foundation of the analysis reveals in some cases
  a complete coincidence with the linguistic notions of concept and mentality, which are taken
  into consideration in the commentary on Jordanes’ above- mentioned statement. With regard
  to the notions of concept and mentality, the analysis results in substantiating Jordanes’ historically
  determined manner of writing, which serves as proof of his Gothic origin both by birth
  and language. Historical data concerning some facts of his biography referring to his place of
  birth and work as a notary in the locations where Latin was spoken enable to conclude that
  he could not but know the language of these territories and thus undoubtedly was bilingual.
