Opis

This volume is the first of its kind to provide a detailed, comprehensive treatment of the genealogical subgrouping of Semitic. Starting with the traditional, morphologic approach and then shifting to the pertinent lexical evidence, it covers key topics in the Semitic subgrouping debate, including the East/West dichotomy, the Central Semitic hypothesis, the Canaanite affiliation of Ugaritic, and the linguistic specificity of Modern South Arabia.
