Dr. Paul M. Noorlander is a Researcher in Hebrew & Aramaic Studies at the University of Cambridge, affiliated with the Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies and a Fellow of St Edmund's College. He specializes in endangered Neo-Aramaic languages, focusing on their documentation, typology, and historical-sociocultural context.
His research spans Areal Linguistics, Historical Syntax, and Language Contact, particularly in regions where Semitic and Iranian languages intersect. He leads projects like the North Eastern Neo-Aramaic Database and the ERC-funded Echoes of Vanishing Voices initiative, which reconstructs the linguistic history of Aramaic-speaking communities in contact with Iranian.
He teaches courses including Comparative Semitic Linguistics, Biblical Hebrew, and Linguistic Typology, emphasizing interdisciplinary approaches. His publications explore word order typology, ergativity, and corpus-based analyses of Neo-Aramaic dialects, with recent works focusing on VO/OV alternations and contact-induced syntactic shifts.
