In this magnum opus, N.J.C. Kouwenberg presents a thorough, modern analysis of the Akkadian verbal system, taking into account all the currently available evidence for the language during the course of the long period of its attestation. This book will be of great interest for students of the Akkadian language and of the literature that exists in that language. It is also a resource for students of general linguistics who are interested in the study of how languages are shaped and how they change over the course of a long history.
