Abstract

A scholarly article discussing a rather neglected aspect of ancient Egyptian linguistics - the determinative system - and using a particular subset of hieroglyphic determinatives to explore the wider interplay of categorisation and metaphor in Egyptian. It provides a counterbalance to the theories currently being advanced by the Berlin-Jerusalem school of determinative (= classifier) research.
