Abstract:

Editor's Note: This is a new edition of a previously announced book.

The Egyptian language, with its written documentation spreading from the Early
Bronze Age (Ancient Egyptian) to Christian times (Coptic), has rarely been the
object of typological studies, grammatical analysis mainly serving
philological purposes.

This volume offers now a detailed analysis and a diachronic discussion of the
non-verbal patterns of the Egyptian language, from the Pyramid Texts (Earlier
Egyptian) to Coptic (Later Egyptian), based on an extensive use of data,
especially for later phases. By providing a narrative contextualisation and a
linguistic glossing of all examples, it addresses the needs not only of
students of Egyptian and Coptic, but also of a linguistic readership. After an
introduction into the basic typological features of Egyptian, the main book
chapters address morphology, syntax, semantics and pragmatics of the three
non-verbal sentence types documented throughout the history of this language:
the adverbial sentence, the nominal sentence and the adjectival sentence.
These patterns also appear in a variety of clausal environments and can be
embedded in verbal constructions.

This book provides an ideal introduction into the study of Egyptian historical
grammar and an indispensable companion for philological reading.
