While Nöldeke’s student Siegmund Fraenkel had previously studied Aramaic loanwords in literary Arabic and Joseph Hubeika had studied some aspects of the Aramaic substratum in Syrian and Lebanese dialects of Arabic, the present work by Michel Feghali, his doctoral dissertation, is the first larger scale investigation of Syriac loans in Arabic dialects, in this case, those of Lebanon. In these dialects are many words and expressions that do not occur in classical Arabic, and so there is an abundance of new material to work through from the point of view of contact linguistics. Feghali categorizes these “loans” more accurately as “survivals”. His prefatory material covers relevant geographical and historical information relating to Lebanon, its linguistic history, different dialects of Syriac and its disappearance from Lebanon, etc. In the main part of the book he covers phonological, morphological, and syntactical differences and similarities between Syriac and Lebanese Arabic dialects. The book concludes with an appendix listing words in these dialects of Syriac origin from the spheres of religion, the home, and agriculture. This book will be of definite interest to scholars of Syriac and Arabic, but also to linguists in general, especially those who work on language contact.

A brief but comprehensive introduction to the unusual language of the cuneiform documents from rulers of Canaanite cities in Palestine and environs in the 14th century BCE. The majority of the letters were sent to the Egyptian Pharaoh, and were discovered in the archive at Tell el-Amarna (Egypte). These documents present an Akkadian that is permeated with elements of local Canaanite dialects, especially in the verbal system, use of particles and syntax, to the extent that one can speak of a mixed language, and thus the term Canaano-Akkadian has been adopted in the scholarly literature on this language.
