'"Aramaic Origins and Dialects: a Model for Proto-Afroasiatic"

On Monday, 16 February 2009, William Fulco will deliver a lecture on the
evolution of Aramaic dialects as a model for understanding linguistic
evolution in the greater Afroasiatic language phylum. The lecture will  
take
place between 1:40 and 3:00 PM in the Alexander Library Scholarly
Communication Center at 169 College Avenue, New Brunswick, NJ.

William J. Fulco, S.J., PhD, is the National Endowment for the  
Humanities

University
in Los Angeles, California. In addition to a Ph.D. in Near Eastern
Languages and Literatures from Yale University, he holds graduate  
degrees
in Classics, Philosophy and Theology. His interests encompass ancient
languages, archaeology and Biblical studies, all of which he teaches at
LMU. He has published widely in reconstructive Afroasiatic linguistics  
and
the study of the Hebrew scriptures.

He is well known for his work in reconstructing Aramaic for the script  
of
the 2004 film "The Passion of the Christ" directed by Mel Gibson, and is
currently working on a script in Punic for the upcoming film "Hannibal  
the
Conqueror", directed by Vin Diesel.
