Focusing on the development of adverbial subordination, nominal modifiers and direct speech marking, as well as reviewing changes through language contact and drift, this book is the first step in the syntactic reconstruction of the Aramaic dialect group, the longest-attested branch of the Semitic language family UR - https://doi.org/10.31826/9781463216580 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781463216580 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781463216580/original ER -
