This introduction to the grammar of New Egyptian, the language of the New Kingdom especially during the Ramesside period (ca. 1350-1000 BC), is a standard reference for academic teaching. The reader is introduced to all important text categories through numerous examples, exercises and bibliographic information. Assuming a working knowledge of hieroglyphic script and Middle Egyptian language, this volume introduces the characteristics of the New Egyptian writing system and guides the reader from simple sentences to larger linguistic units. It also places the New Egyptian forms within their linguistic-historical context by comparing them to their Middle Egyptian, Demotic and Coptic counterparts. This third edition contains numerous improvements and an updated bibliography. German text.
