Review
'"The grammar by Muraoka and Porten will be effectively and gratefully used for linguistic studies as well as for interpretation of texts. Various problems will be led to at least preliminary solution with help of analysis and critical notes.'
Stanislav Segert, "Archiv Orientalni, 1998.
'"Readers who are familiar with the textual material will find stimulating grammatical interpretations that, if taken seriously and critically, will pave the way to a deeper understanding of Egyptian Aramaic.'
Austinus Gianto, "Orientalia, 2000.
Product Description
This is a complete grammar of Egyptian Aramaic as presented in texts of Egytian provenance dating from the middle of the first millenium BC, and as edited by B. Porten and A. Yardeni in their "Textbook of Aramaic documents from Ancient Egypt" (1986). The grammar covers not only the phonology and morphology, but contains a section on morphosyntax and syntax. It is a descriptive grammer with the contents and background of the texts in question. It is meant to replace P. Leander's "Laut- und Formenlehre des Agyptisch-Aramaischen" (1928), but also supplement it as it had no syntax.
