"The goal of the volume is to shed fresh light on Modern Hebrew from perspectives aimed at readers interested in the domains of general linguistics, typology, and Semitic studies. Starting with chapters that provide background information on the evolution and sociolinguistic setting of the language, the bulk of the book is devoted to usage-based studies of the morphology, lexicon, and syntax of current Hebrew. Based primarily on original analyses of authentic spoken and online materials, these studies reflect varied theoretical frames-of-reference that are largely model-neutral in approach. To this end, the book presents a functionally motivated, dynamic approach to actual usage, rather than providing strictly structuralist or formal characterizations of particular linguistic systems. Such a perspective is particularly important in the case of a language undergoing accelerated processes of change, in which the gap between prescriptive dictates of the Hebrew Language Establishment and the actual usage of educated, literate but non-expert speaker-writers of current Hebrew is constantly on the rise"--

"This book presents a new and innovative theory on the origin of the Germanic languages. This theory presents solutions to four pivotal problems in the history of Germanic with critical implications for cultural history: the origin of the Germanic writing system (the Runic alphabet), the genesis of the Germanic strong verbs, the development of the Germanic word order, and etymologies for key elements of the Germanic lexicon. The book proposes that all four problems can be solved if it is hypothesized that ca. 2,500 years ago the ancestor of all Germanic languages, Proto-Germanic, was in intensive contact with Punic, a Semitic language from the Mediterranean. This scenario is explored by focusing on linguistic data, supported by an interdisciplinary mosaic of evidence. This book is of interest to anyone working on the linguistic and cultural history of the Germanic languages"--

Die afroasiatische Suffixkonjugation ist ein finiter Verbalformtyp, der quer durch die meisten Sprachzweige der afroasiatischen Sprachen, zum Teil in hohem und funktionsreichem Aufkommen, zum Teil in verkümmerten Resten, seit der frühesten Bezeugung der afroasiatischen Sprachen in Form des Ägyptischen und der semitischen Sprachen im 3. Jahrtausend v.u.Z. bis heute in Verwendung ist. Je nach Fachbereich erscheint sie unter vielen Namen, von denen Perfekt, Pseudopartizip und Stativ die bekanntesten darstellen.0Marc Brose bietet in seiner Studie zum einen eine ausführliche Dokumentation von Gestalt, Funktionsspektrum und eventuell innersprachlichen Entwicklungen in den verschiedenen Sprachzweigen und Einzelsprachen sowie auch möglichen konvergenten Verbalbildungen, wobei der Schwerpunkt aufgrund des Überlieferungsbefundes auf den semitischen Sprachen und dem Ägyptischen liegt. Zum anderen werden die wichtigsten theoretischen Forschungsfragen und daraus entwickelten Hypothesen, die um die Suffixkonjugation kursieren, vorgestellt und einer kritischen Bewertung unterzogen: zum Beispiel die prähistorische Bildung der Formation aus einem Nominalsatz, die Eingliederung der Suffixkonjugation in die sogenannte Ergativitätshypothese und diverse Zwei-Stativ-Theorien, die auf diachroner Ebene von zwei statt einer Suffixkonjugation ausgehen.
