Abstract

Abstract This article examines diachronic and geographical developments in the orthography and pronunciation of Amorite names. Specifically, it studies examples of scribal reanalyses and creative spellings of Amorite names through time, as well as changes in their pronunciation and the lag of orthography behind these changes. In addition to potentially improving our analyses of particular names, the phenomena considered here further support principles observed already by others, especially the principle that names undergo linguistic developments which are somewhat distinct from those which occur in common language, so that the use of names in the reconstruction of a dead language such as Amorite, for which we have no texts, should proceed with the utmost caution. Amorite names should, first and foremost, be used as a basis for studying Amorite onomastics before they are used as a basis for studying Amorite language.

亚摩利人在时间和空间中的名字
摘要本文探讨历时和地理发展的正字法和发音的亚摩利人的名字。具体来说,它研究了抄写重新分析和创造性拼写亚摩利人名字的例子,以及他们的发音变化和这些变化背后的正字法的滞后。除了有可能改进我们对特定名字的分析之外,这里考虑的现象进一步支持了其他人已经观察到的原则,特别是名字经历的语言发展与普通语言中的发展有所不同的原则,因此,在重建一种死亡语言(如我们没有文本的亚摩利语)时使用名字应该非常谨慎。首先,亚摩利人的名字应该作为研究亚摩利人的基础,然后再作为研究亚摩利人语言的基础。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Semitic Studies was established in 1955 and since then has built up a reputation as one of the leading international academic journals in its field. Semitic Studies has always been understood by the editors to include the modern as well as the ancient Near (Middle) East, with special emphasis on research into the languages and literatures of the area. The editors continue to maintain the policy of ensuring that each volume contains items of interest to Orientalists and Biblical Scholars. Extensive reviews of selected books, as well as general review notices, remain a feature of the Journal.
