Abstract:

This book, the first of its kind, examines how the phonology and grammar of
the ancient Egyptian language changed over more than three thousand years of
its history, from the first appearance of written documents, c.3250 BC, to the
Coptic dialects of the second century AD and later. Part One discusses
phonology, working backward from the vowels and consonants of Coptic to those
that can be deduced for earlier stages of the language. Part Two is devoted to
grammar, including both basic components such as nouns and the complex history
of the verbal system. The book thus provides both a synchronic description of
the five major historical stages of ancient Egyptian and a diachronic analysis
of their development and relationship.
