En savoir plus sur le livre
The book explores the linguistic interaction between Iranians and Arameans from the Achaemenid empire onward, particularly the relationship between Middle Persian and Classical Syriac during the Sasanian empire, an area lacking systematic modern study. The first part provides a comprehensive analysis of the historical and linguistic contexts that facilitated the influx of Iranian words into Syriac, examining the implications of these borrowings. It includes a brief overview of Syriac language and literature, along with its historical ties to Greek and Iranian languages. The typology of Iranian borrowings—both lexical and morphosyntactic—is analyzed in detail, considering their attestation periods, dialectal origins, and levels of phonological and morphological adaptation. A contrastive analysis of the phonological systems of Classical Syriac and Middle Persian highlights the treatment of Iranian loanwords, addressing phoneme inventories, syllabic structures, prothetic vowels, and consonant clusters. This data is contextualized within broader theoretical discussions in contact linguistics. The second part presents a dictionary of Iranian loanwords, detailing etymons, alternative forms, and derivatives, with emphasis on reborrowing and calques. It also includes occurrences and relevant bibliography, offering insights into Middle Iranian lexicography. The study enhances our understanding of language interference and bilingualism
