520 1 $a"This is the first complete study of Semitic internal noun patterns since that of Jacob Barth, over a century ago. Drawing on the earlier work of Semitists and linguists, this work presents a comprehensive new synthesis and is certain to become a classic. It will be useful to Semitists and to scholars of individual Semitic languages, in elucidating the common Semitic pattern system and those of the individual languages and in explaining the semantics and morphology of individual patterns and lexemes.
520 8 $aIt will also be of interest to linguists in general in providing a theoretical analysis of this most characteristic Semitic method of word formation. This diachronic-comparative study presents the internal patterns individually and organizes them systematically. The roles of the patterns in the derivation of nouns from roots, and in nominal inflection, are shown as part of a reconstrncted system. This study investigates the special role of noun patterns in isolated nouns, and gives a complete list of reconstructible isolated nouns.
520 8 $aThe heart of the book is devoted to studies of all individual reconstructible internal patterns with their Semitic reflexes, including mono- and bisyllabics and patterns with ungeminated or geminated second or third consonants.".
520 8 $a"The book reaches conclusions on the structure of the Proto-Semitic pattern system, including categories of reconstructible and non-reconstructible patterns, semantic groups of patterns, and relationships between different patterns. Further, patterns merge and split diachronically, appearing in different roles in the attested languages, where new pattern systems are formed."--BOOK JACKET.
