Abstract:

This book combines in-depth grammatical analysis with dialectology and
typology. It presents important features of Jewish Neo-Aramaic from
Dohok (Iraqi Kurdistan), a previously undocumented dialect that is now
on the verge of extinction. The first Neo-Aramaic grammar to offer
data glossing, this book is accessible for and highly relevant to
Semitists, language typologists and historical linguists. It focuses
especially on phonology, verbal morphosyntax and syntax. The monograph
also highlights features that characterise the wider lišana deni
dialect group, which is the most widespread Jewish Neo-Aramaic today.
The book leverages the staggering microvariation persisting within
North-Eastern Neo-Aramaic to reconstruct the grammaticalisation of
some key Neo-Aramaic constructions. It also includes a text sample of
prime historiographic value (Jews of Iraq during the Second World
War).
