Due to upheavals in the Middle East over the last one hundred years, thousands of speakers of Neo-Aramaic dialects have been forced to migrate from their homes or have perished in massacres. As a result, the dialects are now highly endangered. The dialects exhibit a remarkable diversity of structures. Moreover, the considerable depth of attestation of Aramaic from earlier periods provides evidence for pathways of change. For these reasons the research of Neo-Aramaic is of importance for more general fields of linguistics, in particular language typology and historical linguistics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe papers in this volume represent the full range of research that is currently being carried out on Neo-Aramaic dialects. They advance the field in numerous ways. In order to allow linguists who are not specialists in Neo-Aramaic to benefit from the papers, the examples are fully glossed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Geoffrey Khan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1783749474\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781783749478\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Open Book Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/31\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 542\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.09d","brand":"Geoffrey Khan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43993630081279,"sku":"9781783749478","price":20.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_54ebb357-1406-4910-8862-80879a5c7264.jpg?v=1683325413","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/studies-in-the-grammar-and-geoffrey-khan-9781783749478","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
