Canaanite in the Amarna Tablets (4 Vols.): A Linguistic Analysis of the Mixed Dialect Used by Scribes from Canaan. Vols. I, II, III, IV

This four-volume reference work deals with the language of the Amarna letters written by scribes who had adopted a peculiar dialect mixture of Accadian and West Semitic syntax. Each volume is written as a separate monograph; together they treat the problems of morphology and syntax, providing an invaluable source for the historical study of the North West Semitic family, including biblical Hebrew.
