Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume deals with medieval comparative Semitic philology (Hebrew/Aramaic/Arabic) as practised by Hebrew philologists in the Arabic speaking lands, from Iraq to Spain, discussing its development through the generations, its technics and its theoretical basis. This research is based upon an analysis of over ten thousand occurrences of comparisons in linguistic works, biblical commentaries and the like, made by fourteen Hebrew scholars from the 10th-12th centuries CE, among them Saʿadiah Gaon, Judah b. Quraysh, David b. Abraham Alfasi, Jonah b. Janah and Isaac b. Barūn. Several aspects of this comparisons are presented and studied here for the first time.

Download or read book Arabic Language and Its Linguistics written by N.U. AHMED and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2018-02-05 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arabic Language and its Linguistics is an important book for knowing the source of Arabic language and its linguistic aspect as well. Arabic is the youngest living representative of Semitic languages and it has occupied a vital role in the linguistic scenario of the present world. It carries information of robust culture in the Middle East, Africa and Asia. Importance of Arabic increased to a great extent for its being a commercial language in the international markets of the world. In fact, Arabic achieved the status of official and working language on December 18, 1973, in the domain of the United Nations. Affords are also made in this book to highlight the common linguistics along with the Arabic language and its linguistics in a befitting manner.
Download or read book Philology written by James Turner and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-09-15 with total page 574 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A prehistory of today's humanities, from ancient Greece to the early twentieth century Many today do not recognize the word, but "philology" was for centuries nearly synonymous with humanistic intellectual life, encompassing not only the study of Greek and Roman literature and the Bible but also all other studies of language and literature, as well as history, culture, art, and more. In short, philology was the queen of the human sciences. How did it become little more than an archaic word? In Philology, the first history of Western humanistic learning as a connected whole ever published in English, James Turner tells the fascinating, forgotten story of how the study of languages and texts led to the modern humanities and the modern university. The humanities today face a crisis of relevance, if not of meaning and purpose. Understanding their common origins—and what they still share—has never been more urgent.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Arabic linguistics encompasses a range of language forms and functions from formal to informal, classical to contemporary, written to spoken, all of which have vastly different research traditions. Recently however, the increasing prominence of new methodologies such as corpus linguistics and sociolinguistics have allowed Arabic linguistics to be studied from multiple perspectives, revealing key discoveries about the nature of Arabic-in-use and deeper knowledge of traditional fields of study. With contributions from internationally renowned experts on the language, this handbook provides a state-of-the-art overview of both traditional and modern topics in Arabic linguistics. Chapters are divided into six thematic areas: applied Arabic linguistics, variation and sociolinguistics, theoretical studies, computational and corpus linguistics, new media studies and Arabic linguistics in literature and translation. It is an essential resource for students and researchers wishing to explore the exciting and rapidly moving field of Arabic linguistics"--
Download or read book The Arabic Language Across the Ages written by Juan Pedro Monferrer Sala and published by Dr Ludwig Reichert. This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Arabic language across the ages represents a significant contribution to Arabic linguistics and philology. The book provides a variety of studies that address different aspects of the Arabic language. Some of the contributions are diachronic, focusing on the status quo of the language while others explore its history and development. It also provides text-analysis as well as geographical-based studies. Moreover, the relationship between Arabic and other languages is underlined. More specifically, the book presents studies on Arabic dialectology (e.g., Arabic North-African dialects), morphology (e.g., The Arabic plural), lexicology and lexicography (e.g., culinary lexicon), phonetics and phonology (e.g., vocalization), syntax (e.g., the function of the particle bi-), sociolinguistics (e.g. A lexical atlas of the Arab world), and history (e.g., dialects of Arabic before and after Classical Arabic). The present book is intended to be the first of a forthcoming series of publications on different aspects of the Arabic language, history and culture. The topics addressed offer a balanced treatment of the Arabic of today and the Arabic of the past. The book can be of great interest for linguists of Arabic, the students of Arabic as a native language or a foreign language, professors and students at departments of Semitic studies, Islamic studies and Middle Eastern studies at all universities. It can be also of interest for scholars studying the history and culture of the Arab world. Needless to say, general linguists may find some of the linguistic issues addressed quite relevant and of universal significance (e.g., Arabic broken plural). Dialectologists and researchers interested in language varieties will, undoubtedly, find some of the studies quite interesting since some understudied historical and current dialects of Arabic are investigated. This specific aspect of Arabic linguistics offers infinite number of research possibilities due to the diglossic relationship between Modern Standard Arabic or Classical Arabic and its various dialects as well as the rich variety of dialects spoken throughout the Arab World. The contributions presented in this book are simply eye opening, whetting our appetite for more. They definitely demonstrate that the Arabic language is still almost a virgin field of study, providing various research ideas to pursue.

Download or read book Orientalism Philology and the Illegibility of the Modern World written by Henning Trüper and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-02-20 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Orientalism, Philology, and the Illegibility of the Modern World examines the philology of orientalism. It discusses how European (and in particular German) orientalism has influenced the modern understanding of how language accesses reality and offers a critical reinterpretation of orientalism, ontology and modernity. This book pushes an innovative focus on the global history of knowledge as entangled between European and non-European cultures. Drawing from formal oriental studies, epigraphy, travel literature, and theology, Henning Trüper explores how the attempt to appropriate the world by attaching language to the notion of a 'real' reference in the world ultimately produced a crisis of meaning. In the process, Trüper convincingly challenges received understandings of the intellectual genealogies of oriental scholarship and its practices. This ground-breaking study is a meaningful contribution to current discourses about philology and significantly adds to our understanding about the relationship between discursive practices, cultural agendas, and political systems. As such, it will be of immense value to scholars researching Europe and the modern world, the history of philology, and those seeking to historicise the prevalent debates in theory.
Download or read book World Philology written by Sheldon Pollock and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2015-01-05 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philology—the discipline of making sense of texts—is enjoying a renaissance within academia after decades of neglect. World Philology charts the evolution of philology across the many cultures and historical time periods in which it has been practiced, and demonstrates how this branch of knowledge, like philosophy and mathematics, is an essential component of human understanding. Every civilization has developed ways of interpreting the texts that it produces, and differences of philological practice are as instructive as the similarities. We owe our idea of a textual edition for example, to the third-century BCE scholars of the Alexandrian Library. Rabbinical philology created an innovation in hermeneutics by shifting focus from how the Bible commands to what it commands. Philologists in Song China and Tokugawa Japan produced startling insights into the nature of linguistic signs. In the early modern period, new kinds of philology arose in Europe but also among Indian, Chinese, and Japanese commentators, Persian editors, and Ottoman educationalists who began to interpret texts in ways that had little historical precedent. They made judgments about the integrity and consistency of texts, decided how to create critical editions, and determined what it actually means to read. Covering a wide range of cultures—Greek, Roman, Hebrew, Arabic, Sanskrit, Chinese, Indo-Persian, Japanese, Ottoman, and modern European—World Philology lays the groundwork for a new scholarly discipline.
