Dr. Justin Cale Johnson
Friedrich-Meinecke-Institut (FU)
J. Cale Johnson studied Assyriology, Comparative Semitics and Linguistics at UCLA, receiving his PhD in Assyriology in 2004 with a dissertation on applicative constructions in Sumerian and the role of specificity in their interpretation (a substantially revised version appeared in 2010 under the title “Unaccusativity and the double object construction in Sumerian” [Vienna: LIT]). Since coming to Berlin in 2008, he has focused on the early history of writing, particularly the decipherment of UD.GAL.NUN (encoded mythological materials from the Early Dynastic period) as well as the role of documentary formats in legal procedures and questions of legal and administrative jurisdiction. |
