Semitic Dialects and Dialectology

Characterised by the multiplicity and diversity of research and methodology, the
European tradition of Semitic linguistics has always supported fieldwork and highly
valued the data obtained in this way as it allows to create an interesting dynamic
for linguistic studies itself. In the spirit of this tradition and to uphold it, the
present book is a collection of articles based on data gathered primarily during
field research expeditions. The volume is divided into two parts¿Studies on various
specific linguistic issues and Texts containing previously unpublished
transcriptions of audio recordings in Arabic dialects, Maltese and
Jibbali/Shehret.
