This volume presents the Egyptian-Coptic language in
cross-linguistic ('typological') perspective. It is aimed at
linguists of all stripes, especially typologists, historical
linguists, and specialists in Egyptian-Coptic, Afroasiatic
languages, or African languages. Uniquely, the contributions are
written by both typologists and experts of Egyptian-Coptic and
typologists. The former provide case studies dealing with
particular aspects of the various phases of the Egyptian-Coptic
language (e.g., COLLIER on conditional constructions), while the
latter situate Egyptian-Coptic data in cross-linguistic perspective
(e.g., those by GUELDEMANN and GENSLER). The volume also includes
an introductory section that includes an overview of the
Egyptian-Coptic language (HASPELMATH), a sketch of its
sociohistorical setting (GROSSMAN & RICHTER), its relationship
with language typology (RICHTER), and the way in which
Egyptian-Coptic data should be presented to nonspecialists,
focusing on transliteration and glossing (GROSSMAN &
HASPELMATH).This is the first book to bring together language
typology and the Egyptian-Coptic language in an explicit fashion.
