Prof. GEVA KLEINBERGER is a dialectologist, an expert of dialects in the Arab World and a researcher of Modern Semitic Languages. His work is not merely of linguistic interest, since the texts that he collects can serve historians and anthropologists. He is also in charge of the linguistic studies at the Department of Arabic Language and Literature (University of Haifa). He wrote two additional books: one on the Arabic dialect of Haifa in the beginning of the twentieth century (in German), another- on the Arabic dialect of the Jews of Tiberias (in English). He has been concentrating in the recent years on researching Judaeo-Arabic dialects: Jewish dialects in Galilee (Safed and Peqi'in) and Jewish dialects in the Far East: India, Burma and Singapore. He has also conducted a work on the Arabic dialects of the Jews of Sudan. His researches focus on Arabic dialects that are in severe danger of extinction.
