Abstract

The ethical dative (dativus ethicus) has been attested without interruption in Aramaic dialects from the Official Aramaic period down through Neo-Aramaic. The extent and durability of this linguistic feature is discussed. Though its frequency differs from corpus to corpus, it is alive in some Neo-Aramaic dialects and its distribution in Modern Aramaic suggests that it was more widespread in pre-Modern Aramaic than the written texts show. It is most probably a colloquial feature that penetrated written texts to a limited extent. In the only real evidence we possess of spoken Aramaic, namely, Neo-Aramaic, it has, in different dialects, become an integral part of some verbal forms and does not express any identifiable nuance. Its precise meaning and use in pre-Modern Aramaic remain elusive.

阿拉姆语的伦理补语

伦理与格(dativus ethicus)从官方阿拉姆语时期到新阿拉姆语，在阿拉姆语方言中被证明是没有中断的。讨论了这种语言特征的范围和持久性。虽然它的频率因语料库而异，但它在一些新阿拉姆语方言中仍然存在，它在现代阿拉姆语中的分布表明，它在前现代阿拉姆语中的分布比书面文本显示的更为广泛。它很可能是一种口语化的特征，在一定程度上渗透到书面文本中。在我们拥有的阿拉姆语口语的唯一真实证据中，即新阿拉姆语，它已经在不同的方言中成为一些口头形式的组成部分，并且不表达任何可识别的细微差别。它在前现代阿拉姆语中的确切含义和用法仍然难以捉摸。

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.
