Research

Illan Gonen is studying the grammar of Jewish Zakho, a highly endangered dialect of the Lishana DeniĀ group of North-Eastern Neo-Aramaic, originally thrived in North-West Iraq and nowadays still spoken by one or two dozens of speakers in Jerusalem. In early 2009, he received his MA in Semitic Linguistics from Tel-Aviv University, for his thesis on The Morphophonology of the Verbal Roots in Spoken Israeli Hebrew, after completing his BA in Theoretical Linguistics and East Asian Studies.
