The Egyptian language, with its written documentation spreading
from the Early Bronze Age (Ancient Egyptian) to Christian times
(Coptic), has rarely been the object of typological studies,
grammatical analysis mainly serving philological purposes. This
volume offers now a detailed analysis and a diachronic discussion
of the non-verbal patterns of the Egyptian language, from the
Pyramid Texts (Earlier Egyptian) to Coptic (Later Egyptian), based
on an extensive use of data, especially for later phases. By
providing a narrative contextualisation and a linguistic glossing
of all examples, it addresses the needs not only of students of
Egyptian and Coptic, but also of a linguistic readership. After an
introduction into the basic typological features of Egyptian, the
main book chapters address morphology, syntax, semantics and
pragmatics of the three non-verbal sentence types documented
throughout the history of this language: the adverbial sentence,
the nominal sentence and the adjectival sentence. These patterns
also appear in a variety of clausal environments and can be
embedded in verbal constructions. This book provides an ideal
introduction into the study of Egyptian historical grammar and an
indispensable companion for philological reading.
