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.</p><p>The 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.</p> 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0209_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2021 06 15 9781783749478 06 15 9781783749485 06 15 9781783749492 06 15 9781800646179 06 15 9781783749522 06 15 9781783749508 06 15 9781783749515 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0209 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0209.pdf 99 04
