Comparative Semitic Philology in the Middle Ages
This volume deals with medieval comparative Semitic philology (Hebrew/Aramaic/Arabic) as practised by Hebrew philologists in the Arabic speaking lands, from Iraq to Spain, discussing its development through the generations (10th-12th cent. CE), its technics and its theoretical basis.
Semitic Studies in Honour of Edward Ullendorff
This is a Festschrift volume for the British Semitist Edward Ullendorff. It contains papers written by leading scholars in the fields of Semitic philology and Near Eastern history and literature. The papers include linguistic, literary and historical studies of Ethiopian Semitic, Aramaic, Hebrew, Arabic and Greek sources.
Case in Semitic
This book reconstructs the Semitic case system, based on a detailed analysis of the expression of grammatical roles and relations in the attested Semitic languages. It brings typological methods to bear on the study of comparative Semitics and includes detailed analyses of a wide range of data. The book will interest Semiticists and typologists.
Root-Determinatives in Semitic Speech
Excerpt from Root-Determinatives in Semitic Speech: A Contribution to Semitic Philology The biliteral theory, sometimes attacked, at other times defended, and almost entirely rejected in recent years, forms the subject of these studies. They were begun in 1907 in a somewhat empirical fashion, but the author became deeply interested in the mass of literature which had accumulated on the subject, although these researches had apparently resulted in hopeless confusion rather than in even an approximate solution of their problem. As a result of his investigations, the writer was very glad to find that able grammarians had not labored for centuries in vain, con tending blindly over something that...
Comparative Semitic Linguistics
As the title indicates, this unique resource is a manual on comparative linguistics, with the examples taken exclusively from Semitic languages. It is an innovative volume that recalls the earlier tradition of textbooks of comparative philology, which, however, exclusively treated Indo-European languages. It is suited for students with at least a year of a Semitic language. By far the largest component of the book are the nine wordlists that provide the data to be manipulated by the student. Says reviewer Peter Daniels, the wordlists "constitute a unique resource for all of comparative linguistics--a considerable quantity of uniform data from a host of related languages. They would be useful for any class in comparative linguistics, not just for those interested specifically in Semitic." Scattered throughout the text are 25 exercises based on the wordlists that provide a good introduction to the methods of comparativists. Also included are paradigms of the phonological systems of ten Semitic languages as well as Coptic and a form of Berber. A bibliography that guides the student into further reading in Semitic linguistics completes the volume.
