This grammar provides a comprehensive overview of Middle Egyptian
and illustrates its grammatical features with extensive examples
from various sources. Exercises at the end of each chapter, along
with a sign list and a hieroglyphic word list, provide the reader
with the means to apply and practice the content, enabling this
book to be used as both a grammar reference and a textbook. The
book's structure and detailed outline facilitate its use as a
reference, making it easy to find information on any particular
grammatical feature. At the same time, the extensive content of the
forty chapters provides a suitable basis for self-guided study and
enables the student to read and understand Egyptian inscriptions
and literary texts in hieroglyphic transliteration. Recent
developments in the understanding of Egyptian are exemplified in
numerous quotations from Egyptian texts, and exercises at the end
of each chapter provide further opportunity for considering the
grammatical phenomena discussed in the chapter, allowing for both
practice and review. For reasons of convenience, the vocabulary
necessary for the exercises, along with the words used in the
examples, are arranged into a word list at the end of the book.
Similar and alternative grammatical constructions are compared, and
in addition to the "classical" language of the Middle Kingdom, the
book considers both Old Egyptian and Late Egyptian influences. As a
hybrid reference and textbook, this volume introduces the reader to
the grammatical features of Middle Egyptian and illustrates the
means of expression used in ancient Egyptian.
