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. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book provides an ideal introduction into the study of Egyptian historical grammar and an indispensable companion for philological reading. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e de Gruyter Mouton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/08\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783110651577\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 859\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.91d","brand":"Antonio Loprieno,Matthias M\u0026#195;\u0026#188;ller,Sami Uljas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52239183282357,"sku":"9783110651577","price":53.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_b530ce41-37b2-48c4-85d0-c5c5299d3cc2.jpg?v=1770917126","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/non-verbal-predication-in-ancient-egyptian-9783110651577","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
