Summary note
Ancient language study is becoming an increasingly sophisticated and complex discipline, as scholars not only consider methods being used by specialists of other languages, but also absorb developments in other disciplines to facilitate their own research investigations. This interdisciplinary approach is reflected in the scope of research papers offered here, invited and peer-reviewed by the ISLP.
Notes
Selection of papers presented at a variety of conferences: presented at the International Syriac Language Project meetings at two conferences: the XIth Symposium Syriacum in Malta, 16-18 July 2012 and the International Organization for the Study of the Old Testament in Munich, 4-9 August 2013, and one paper each came from the SBL International Meeting in Amsterdam, 22-26 July 2012, and the 217th Annual Meeting of the American Oriental Society at San Antonio, Texas, 15-19 March 2007.
