Preview

The book is intended to be used by Hebrew speakers as an updated linguistic introduction for the phonology and morphology of the Hebrew language.

It is an enlarged and updated second edition of the "Grammar of Mouth and Ear" that was written and published in 1947 by the same author while kept in a British detention camp for the underground movement in former Palestine.

The present edition includes the topics that have been dealt with in the original book, but with modern approach according to progress in linguistics and general science, with new explanations that could appear in modern time.

"Grammar of Mouth and Ear was first published 70 years ago under fascinating circumstances. It was based on a Hebrew grammar course Ornan taught when he was in his early twenties, while he was imprisoned in an internment camp in East Africa during the 1940s." - Oxford University Press Journals of Semitic Studies 63, no 2, Miri Bar-Ziv Levy, October 2018
