Une Theorie De L' Organisation Du Lexique Des Langues Semitiques (Book Review‪)‬

Une theorie de l' organisation du lexique des langues semitiques: Matrices et etymons. By GEORGES BOHAS and MIHAI DAT. Collection Langages. Lyon: ENS EDITIONS, 2007. Pp. 235 (paper). The book under review represents a synthesis of the research on word formation in Semitic and the organization of the Arabic lexicon undertaken by Georges Bohas in the last fifteen years. In addition to the Arabic material that formed the basis of Bohas's previous studies, it also includes Hebrew data provided by Mihai Dat. As such, the book, although it extends the analysis to another Semitic language, does not provide any new theories per se.
