His research areas are phonology (sound systems of languages) and\nmorphology (word formation) in general, and Modern Hebrew phonology and morphology\nin particular, the application of linguistic methodology to the teaching of Hebrew as a\nforeign language, and corpus linguistics. He is Past President of the National Association of\nProfessors of Hebrew.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 9650903607\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.9650903607.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Bolozky, Shmuel\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
