Abstract

Few studies have focused on the Aramaic of the Zohar, and to this day, only one of these presents a completed grammatical analysis. Scholars have dealt at large, however, with the question of whether the Aramaic of the Zohar is artificial or not. I briefly review the history of the literature around this question, then propose my own criteria to examine whether a language of a given text is indeed artificial. Finally, I put this methodology into practice, as I investigate the nature of Zoharic Aramaic by examining specific linguistic phenomena in the relevant corpus.

文学语言是人造的吗?《光辉之书》中阿拉姆人的案例

很少有研究集中在《光辉之书》的阿拉姆语上，直到今天，只有一种研究呈现出完整的语法分析。然而，学者们已经处理了《光辉之书》的阿拉姆语是否人为的问题。我简要回顾了围绕这个问题的文献历史，然后提出了我自己的标准来检查给定文本的语言是否确实是人造的。最后，我将这一方法付诸实践，因为我通过检查相关语料库中的特定语言现象来研究Zoharic阿拉姆语的性质。

期刊介绍： The journal brings all aspects of the various forms of Aramaic and their literatures together to help shape the field of Aramaic Studies. The journal, which has been the main platform for Targum and Peshitta Studies for some time, is now also the main outlet for the study of all Aramaic dialects, including the language and literatures of Old Aramaic, Achaemenid Aramaic, Palmyrene, Nabataean, Qumran Aramaic, Mandaic, Syriac, Rabbinic Aramaic, and Neo-Aramaic. Aramaic Studies seeks contributions of a linguistic, literary, exegetical or theological nature for any of the dialects and periods involved, from detailed grammatical work to narrative analysis, from short notes to fundamental research. Reviews, seminars, conference proceedings, and bibliographical surveys are also featured.
