摘要

在所有阿拉姆语变体中,叙利亚语中“彗星”或“流星”的术语数量最多。对这个事实有一个简单的解释吗?在星体科学领域的叙利亚技术术语的系统调查解决了这个问题。这种研究还影响到与闪米特研究有关的三个问题:(1)叙利亚作家能够使用的来源和语言的问题;(2)新词创造的语言策略;(3)存在共同的阿拉姆语技术koin(标准文学阿拉姆语)。本文阐述了彗星和流星在叙利亚语中的术语,作为星体术语的代表性选择,并研究了它们对上述问题的价值。这项调查的两个支柱是比较文学体裁中这些术语的出现与其他近东文献中这些术语的出现,以及这些术语在叙利亚语中的语言分析。

“A great star falls”—cometology in Syriac language and literature
Abstract The Syriac language has, among all the Aramaic varieties, by far the largest number of terms for ‘comet’ or ‘meteor’. Is there a simple explanation for this fact? The systematic investigation of Syriac technical terminology in the field of astral sciences addresses this question. Such a study also impacts three issues relevant to Semitic studies: (1) The question of the sources and languages the Syriac writers were able to access; (2) the linguistic strategies for the creation of neologisms; (3) the existence of a common Aramaic technical koiné (standard literary Aramaic). This article sets forth the terms for comets and meteors in Syriac as a representative selection of astral terminology, and investigates their value for the questions mentioned above. The two pillars of this investigation are the comparison of the literary genres in which this terminology surfaces with those of other Near Eastern literatures in which this terminology surfaces, and the linguistic analysis of these terms in Syriac.

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.
