Along that longitudinal axis, which extends from the Pacific to the Atlantic, people have enjoyed for millennia the same quantity of seasonal sunlight. Thus, more easily than people of other continents, Eurasians exchanged their knowledge of the flora and fauna they had in common and on a linguistic level, too, they developed cultural traits in common. One of these is the spread of a synthetic language typology which puts the predicate at the end of a proposition; another is the lack of grammatical gender. Both traits are present in languages from Japanese to Basque. In contrast to this, from the southern shore of the Mediterranean an analytical language typology gradually spread, one that is most clearly illustrated, in the middle of the second millennium BC, by the "Late Egyptian" language. In this model the verb is located at the start of a proposition or immediately after the subject or after a lexical element that is the focus. At the same time masculine and feminine genders were introduced. Waves of systemic reform flowed northwards from the south of Europe, among them the most remarkable being the introduction of prepositions, coordinating and subordinating conjunctions, relative clauses following the noun they relate to in the main proposition. Esperanto, balancing synthesis and analysis, fully inherited the new typology that had spread through the languages of Europe and grafted it into an unprecedented structure in which all word classes are clearly recognizable from their distinct endings and the root of words are not modified inflectionally.

Mélanges en l'honneur d'Alessandro Vitale-Brovarone Auteur: Pennacchietti (Fabrizio) Résumé: Dans plusieurs langues on constate une parenté étymologique entre les mots pour « hier » et ceux pour « soir » et entre les mots pour « demain » et ceux pour « matin ». Cet essai se propose, d'une part, de contrôler dans quelle mesure cette parenté est attestée dans les langues sémitiques et, d'autre part, de discuter le phénomène par lequel des dialectes néoaraméens utilisent le mot pour « hier » aussi pour « demain », tandis que d'autres donnent au mot pour « demain » également le sens d'« hier ».

À cet effet, il développe le modèle créé par Viggo Brøndal dans sa théorie des prépositions, en utilisant les concepts de « figure » et de « fond » de la linguistique cognitive. Le domaine particulier des multiples emplois de chaque préposition simple française résulte de sa position dans une grille formée par deux paires d'oppositions qui se croisent : les prépositions dimensionnelles contre les prépositions adimensionnelles et les prépositions applicatives contre les prépositions rétroapplicatives.

This word has not an Arabic origin and is currently thought to be a loanword from the Persian via the Turkish language, i.e. sar "head"-pūš "covering." In the present article tarboosh is considered a purely Turkish word, composed by ter "sweat" and pošu "a light turban cloth," i.e. the cloth once put by the Ottoman soldiers under their helmets.

Th... more Graffiti are an often neglected but crucial witness to everyday life of ancient civilizations. The Aramaic graffiti from Hatra (North Iraq) can make an invaluable contribution in this sense, distributed as they were in various buildings throughout this city which flourished between the 1st and the 3rd century AD. Thanks to an effective interaction between epigraphy and archaeology, Marco Moriggi and Ilaria Bucci offer a thorough analysis of the Aramaic graffiti from Hatra as documented by the Archive of the Missione Archeologica Italiana (Turin). In addition to the edition of 48 published and 37 unpublished graffiti, this study further includes the concordances of numbers of all Hatran texts published so far and full archaeological information about the graffiti.
