[align=left]A Phoenician-Punic Grammar (Handbook of Oriental Studies: Pt.1 Ancient Near East)
Publisher: Brill | 2000 | ISBN: 9004117717 | English, Phoenician, Punic | PDF | 309 pages | 12.92 Mb
This volume includes the phonology, orthography, morphology, syntax, language and usage of the Phoenician-Punic language. It contains examples from texts and dialects, including fragments of a Punic drama, to bring to life the grammatical description of this language. The description of the literary language holds that tense and aspect reference of a given form of the verb is largely a function of syntax, not morphology.
This book is composed of very technical language, and to know the pronunciation of words, you are required to know some basic Hebrew.
Phoenician-Punic is the language spoken by the Phoenicians and Carthaginians, some of the most famous of these is Hannibal Barka (HNB'L BRK), who crossed the Alps in 218 BC with an army of 100`000 infantry, 20`000 cavalry and 37 elephants.
During the reading of this book, you begin to appreciate the fact that the language is indeed very similar to modern Hebrew. Modern Hebrew is in fact not even true Hebrew, but a Phoenician dialect.
Krahmalkov is considered by his peers to have taken bold steps when writing these books on the Phoenician-Punic languages. One of these bold steps was to use Neo-Punic poetry from pottery in the analysis.
