He made a great contribution to the theory of the Egyptian language . He created "Egyptian Grammar: An Introduction to the Study of Hieroglyphs" to this day remains the standard reference grammar (manual). Based on the achievements of representatives of the Berlin Egyptological School : Adolf Ehrman and Kurt Zeta , Gardiner systematized knowledge of the Egyptian language and published in 1927 Egyptian Grammar, combining exhaustive grammatical material with accessible explanations and study assignments.
Gardiner took an active part in creating the fundamental “Berlin Dictionary of the Egyptian Language” . Considering the interpretation of Egyptian texts to be one of the main tasks of Egyptian philology, he published and commented on many valuable monuments. His study of Egyptian “onomasticons” (see the Ramesseum Onomasticon ) made it possible to determine the meaning of many Egyptian words, and also made a great contribution to the study of the historical geography of Ancient Egypt .
In addition to being the author of special Egyptological works, Gardiner is also the author of original works on general linguistics.
