This volume looks at the linguistic and cultural impact that Phoenician-Punic, the northwest Semitic language of ancient Carthage, had on Pre-Germanic and Early Proto-Germanic. Firstly, it addresses structural and lexical similarities, going beyond what has been known so far. It also focuses on the question of power relations in language contact with the Semitic language.
