The Morpho-Syntactic and Lexical Encoding of Tense and Aspect in Semitic
Proceedings of the Erlangen Workshop on April 26, 2014
edited by Lutz Edzard
The present volume is based on a selection of papers delivered at the workshop “The Morpho-Syntactic Encoding of Tense and Aspect in Semitic,” which was organized at the Friedrich-Alexander-Universitat Erlangen-Nurnberg on April 26, 2014. Specifically, the contributions focus on Akkadian (Michael P. Streck), Biblical Hebrew (Lutz Edzard and Silje S. Alvestad), modern Hebrew (Nora Boneh), modern colloquial Arabic (Melanie Hanitsch and Salah Fakhry), as well as Ethio-Semitic (Ronny Meyer). One joint paper also touches upon Slavic linguistics (Silje S. Alvestad). While the papers are data-oriented, modern linguistic theory and typological considerations play an important role as well. The volume is of interest to Arabists, Hebraists, and Semiticists, as well as Assyriologists, Biblical scholars, Slavicists, and linguists in general.

"The book is particularly commendable for the way that it brings together expertise on a wide range of Semitic languages, both Asian and African, and on present-day colloquial speech as well as ancient writings... [A] very worthwhile publication. Anyone interested in its topic will want to read it." --Geoffrey Sampson, University of Sussex, LINGUIST List 28.2321
