Porten and A. Yardeni in their "Textbook of Aramaic Documents from Ancient Egypt" (Jerusalem, 1986-1999). The grammar covers not only the phonology and morphology, but contains a substantial section on morphosyntax and syntax. It is a descriptive grammar enriched with the expert knowledge and familiarity of one of the co-authors with the contents and background of the texts in question. It is meant to replace P. Leander's "Laut- und Formenlehre des Dgyptisch-Aramdischen (1928), but also supplements it substantially, because it had no syntax. Due to the utmost importance and interest of these ancient texts, this grammar is a vade mecum for every Aramaist, Semitist and Historian in the field. |
