Abstract:

For the first time in the history of Semitic studies, this volume is
devoted entirely to Modern South Arabian (MSA) as a unified linguistic
and cultural entity. The three principal regions inhabited by MSA
speakers—Mahra and Dhofar on the Arabian mainland, and the island of
Soqotra—are comprehensively represented. The contributions span a
broad thematic range, including cultural history, field sociology,
and, above all, linguistics (both synchronic and diachronic),
alongside the rich oral traditions of MSA-speaking communities.
Readership: The book will be of interest for academic institutions
specialized in Middle Eastern studies, general and Semitic
linguistics, oral literatures and literary theory, as well as
libraries, specialists and students dealing with these and related
areas of research. General reader interested in today’s Yemen and Oman
can also profit from reading the volume.

Linguistic Field(s): Historical Linguistics

Language Family(ies): Semitic
