Edzard D.O. Sumerian grammar. – Boston_Leiden: Brill, 2003. - 212 p.

ISBN 90-04-12608-2

Dietz Edzard's Sumerian Grammar is not a book for an absolute beginner. You will not lea to translate a Sumerian text from this book. There are no vocabulary lists or exercises and there are only two cuneiform characters in the entire book. But that is fine since this book is not aimed at a begining student.

Instead, Dr. Edzard has written a book that is aimed at more advanced students and specialists in the field, and he has done a great job of it. The author discusses differences of opinion between scholars regarding the finer points of Sumerian grammar and does a good job of illustrating how our knowledge of Sumerian is tied to ancient Akkadian texts which translate Sumerian into Akkadian. The long chapter on the Sumerian verb is daunting, but that is strictly due to the complexity of the material.

This book is also wonderfully concise. The material is properly covered, yet the book is only 190 pages long.

A student wishing to lea Sumerian from scratch should probably start with "A Manual of Sumerian Grammar" by John Hayes. Once they have mastered the material in Hayes' excellent book, they should then tu to Dr. Edzard's book for further study.

2008 г. - 113 p. The outline of grammar presented here is inspired from the Hethitisches Elementarbuch by Johannes Friedrich. However, it is not an exact translation of this book. I have nevertheless used his examples, his tables of the different paradigms and his numbering of the classes of verbs (referenced in the lexicon). I have deviated from the usual rules of transcription of Hittite by replacing the sign ? by the letter 's', according to...

Date: 2008 Pages: 348 pages Format: PDF The so-called Sumerian conjugation prefixes are the most poorly understood and perplexing elements of Sumerian verbal morphology. Approaching the problem from a functional-typological perspective and basing the analysis upon semantics, Professor Woods argues that these elements, in their primary function, constitute a system of grammatical voice, in which the active voice is set against the middle voice....
