[Review of] Talay Sh. Die neuaramäischen Dialekte der Khabur-Assyrer in Nordostsyrien : Einführung, Phonologie und Morphologie. Harrassowitz. Wiesbaden, 2008
P. 587–592.
The book under review is a reworked dissertation written under supervision of Prof. Otto Jastrow and submitted to Friedrich-Alexander Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg in 2006. It is the first part of the planned three-volume work which is the outcome of many years of field research (1997-2005). The review includes a survey of the contents of the volume, discussion of the position of Talay's book in the context of Neo-Aramaic studies, detailed commentary on some controversial issues in the book. The findings of Shabo Talay are compared to the dialect description by Heidi Jacobi whose work on Txuma was based on the material recorded from the informants originating in Khabur area.

This study explores a fragment of the accentual system of the Pskov dialect, with data obtained from both a corpus and fieldwork. The focus is on a-stem nouns (1st declension), with the accent types and stress patterns described. The accent types of nouns are presented in tables, while the stress patterns are given in a dictionary format, allowing for a combined approach to describing the dialect’s accentual system. Special attention is paid to stress placement in the accusativus singularis form of a number of words, which in this case ...

The paper offers a review of “The Verbal Systems of Aramaic” by Stefan Bruweleit and advances an account of Aramaic verbal morphosyntax. Early Western Aramaic is modeled as an absolute tense system, not an aspect-dominant one; the Akkadian-Stative pedigree for qṭal is rejected. A genealogical view is retained but tempered by Sapirian “drift,” notably the ...
