This theory presents solutions to four pivotal problems in the history of Germanic with critical implications for cultural history: the origin of the Germanic writing system (the Runic alphabet), the genesis of the Germanic strong verbs, the development of the Germanic word order, and etymologies for key elements of the Germanic lexicon. The book proposes that all four problems can be solved if it is hypothesized that ca. 2,500 years ago the ancestor of all Germanic languages, Proto-Germanic, was in intensive contact with Punic, a Semitic language from the Mediterranean. This scenario is explored by focusing on linguistic data, supported by an interdisciplinary mosaic of evidence. This book is of interest to anyone working on the linguistic and cultural history of the Germanic languages"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aNorth-Western European language evolution.$pSupplement ;$vVolume 32. 606 $aGermanic languages$xHistory 606 $aPunic language$xInfluence on Germanic$xHistory 606 $aSemitic languages$zEurope$xHistory 615 0$aGermanic languages$xHistory. 615 0$aPunic language$xInfluence on Germanic$xHistory. 615 0$aSemitic languages$xHistory 676 $a430.09 700 $aMailhammer$b Robert$f1975-$0599394 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827285703321 996 $aThe Carthaginian North$94064832 997 $aUNINA
