Linguistic Studies in Phoenician: In Memory of J. Brian Peckham
honors the late Professor J. Brian Peckham, a scholar who has been
instrumental in furthering the cause of Phoenician studies over the
past decades. His passion made him an exceptional teacher, and his
research on Phoenician studies resulted in his Phoenicia: Episodes
and Anecdotes from the Ancient Mediterranean (Eisenbrauns, 2014),
which he finished just prior to his passing in September 2008. This
collection of studies dedicated to his memory is aimed at advancing
our understanding of the grammatical and historical features of the
Phoenician language, a favorite topic that Professor Peckham
rigorously studied and taught. The first set of studies
concentrates on linguistic features of Phoenician qua Phoenician.
They include investigations of phonology and morphology, as well as
linguistic approaches to syntax and text-level pragmatics. The
second set of studies seeks to situate aspects of the Phoenician
language typologically or within comparative, etymological, and
historical Semitics. The result is a group of studies covering
topics ranging from case endings, negation, pronominal usage, and
phonology to dialectology, etymologies, and text linguistics. Given
the use of Phoenician throughout the Mediterranean littoral, this
volume contains something of interest for numerous areas of
investigation, including comparative Semitics, Anatolian, early
Mediterranean, and even Hebrew and biblical studies.
