Nir, A great deal of serious scholarship was published on two sides of this fascinating and complex fence. I'll mention only two names, each from a different side: Avi Hurvitz, and Ian Young.
Uri Hurwitz ( not a relative of the former) > uri, my interest in linguistics is basically diachronic, and at times i use a reflection of the present use as a possible clue to understanding its past use. clearly i do not imply them to be equal, but often there is a clear evolution between them. some people may disagree, but i assume that diachronic arguments are not banned in this forum. [though in the case of X$ML=electricity i fully agree with you. this term was re-defined in the late 19th century. > _______________________________________________ b-hebrew mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/b-hebrew
