Abstract:

Neo-Mandaic is the last phase of a pre-modern vernacular closely related to
Classical Mandaic, a Mesopotamian Aramaic idiom of Late Antiquity. This unique
language is critically endangered, being spoken by a few hundred adherents of
Mandaeism, the only gnostic religion to have survived until the present day.
All other Mandaeans, numbering several tens of thousands, are Arabic or
Persian speakers. The present study concerns the least known aspect of the
language, namely its lexicon as reflected in both its dialects, those of the
cities of Ahvaz and Khorramshahr in the Iranian province of Khuzestan. Apart
from lexicological and etymological studies in Neo-Mandaic itself, the book
discusses the contribution of the Neo-Mandaic lexis to our knowledge of
literary Mandaic as well as aspects of this lexis within the framework of
Neo-Aramaic as a whole.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company operates such a program.
