- This is a substantial work of scholarship consisting of 4 volumes. It contains a detailed documentation of one of the most widely-spoken dialects of Neo-Aramaic. It covers descriptions of all levels of the language, phonology, morphology and syntax (vols 1-2), with application of state-of-the-art theoretical concepts. Vol. 3 is a complete dictionary of the language. Vol. 4 is large corpus of transcriptions and translations of oral texts, which I recorded from speakers of the dialect all over the world. The work took five years to complete.
