This volume offers now a detailed analysis and a diachronic discussion of the non-verbal patterns of the Egyptian language, from the Pyramid Texts (Earlier Egyptian) to Coptic (Later Egyptian), based on an extensive use of data, especially for later phases. By providing a narrative contextualisation and a linguistic glossing of all examples, it addresses the needs not only of students of Egyptian and Coptic, but also of a linguistic readership. After an introduction into the basic typological features of Egyptian, the main book chapters address morphology, syntax, semantics and pragmatics of the three non-verbal sentence types documented throughout the history of this language: the adverbial sentence, the nominal sentence and the adjectival sentence. These patterns also appear in a variety of clausal environments and can be embedded in verbal constructions. This book provides an ideal introduction into the study of Egyptian historical grammar and an indispensable companion for philological reading.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe volume provides a detailed analysis and diachronic discussion of the various patterns of non-verbal predication in Ancient Egyptian and Coptic. By contextualizing and glossing linguistic examples, it supplies extensive empirical data to a wide readership of linguists and philologists. The discussion is not limited to the study of syntactic patterns but also focuses on the semantics and pragmatics of the non-verbal sentence types documented in over four thousand years of Egyptian linguistic history. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAntonio Loprieno\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026amp; \u003cstrong\u003eMatthias Müller\u003c\/strong\u003e, University of Basel; \u003cstrong\u003eSami Uljas\u003c\/strong\u003e, University of Uppsala.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 859\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.91 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 08, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47270005539065,"sku":"9783110651577","price":68.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/UFVnVUJsODZRcGJCTzFRaFhUeVBaQT09.webp?v=1768899147","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/non-verbal-predication-in-ancient-egyptian-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
