Language teaching and learning were crucial to Europeans’ colonial, national, and individual enterprises in the Levant, and in these processes, “Oriental language teachers” – as they were termed prior to the Second World War – were fundamental. European state nationalisms influenced and increasingly competed with each other by promoting their languages and cultures abroad, by means of…
Of course, languages are not in contact. We could say that speakers of languages are, but even this would be misleading, as we would bestow an undue role to in-dividuals in their capacity as speakers, and at the same time forget that words and patterns spread when they are heard, rather than when they are uttered. As Thomason (2001: p. 2) puts it, “in the simplest definition, language contact…

Compounds often have a meaning which builds on one, but not t…

But we should not be too harsh on old Jerome; even the brilliant Erasmus flailed in the face of the polysemic Greek word when he attempted a L…
