Very helpful overview. For professors, scholars, and even intermediate students wishing to know what key developments have taken place and what the state of discussion is for many major issues in the study of Biblical Hebrew and Aramaic. The author also makes suggestions for further advancement of the field and gives reading suggestions at the end of each chapter, in addition to a large bibliography at the end of the book.
