This book offers a thorough, authoritative account of the branches
of Semitic. These include some of the world's oldest attested
languages, among them Akkadian, Aramaic, Hebrew, Arabic, and
Ethiopic, as well as various modern languages. Gideon Goldenberg
describes their history, geographical distribution, writing
systems, and genetic classification. He examines their main
features and distinctive characteristics, including their
phonology, morphemes, derivational morphology, verbal systems,
syntactic relationships, and their typological significance. He
also discusses the pioneering work and achievements of medieval
Arabic and Hebrew scholars in theoretical and descriptive aspects
of grammar, lexicography, and philology. Professor Goldenberg's
balanced, undogmatic account presents the fruits of a lifetime of
original research: it will be widely welcomed by scholars and
advanced students of the Semitic languages and linguistic typology.
