Abstract:

This article analyses the main characteristics of verb valency types and the behaviour of verbs in morphosyntactic structures in South Ethiosemitic languages. To achieve the objective, native speaker informants, written texts, and introspection (for Amharic) were used as sources of data. The findings reveal that six valency types of verbs are in use in the languages: avalent, monovalent, bivalent, trivalent, and a valency of ambivalent verbs with one or two arguments, as well as intransitive verbs with a cognate object. Except for the type that concerns avalent verbs, the rest are highly produ

Abstract:

The distance among closely related languages is usually measured from three dimensions: structural, functional and perceptual. The structural distance is determined by directly quantifying the phonetic, lexical, morphological and syntactic differences among the languages. The functional distance is measured based on the actual usage of the languages, e.g., mutual intelligibility and inter-lingual comprehensibility. The perceptual distance is related to the subjective judgment of the speakers about the similarity or intelligibility between their native language and the neighboring related langu

Abstract:

Abstract Several theories were suggested as to the origin of Ethiosemitic, ranging from the immigration by one or several waves of speakers of Semitic from South Arabia to the Western coast of the Red Sea and up to the designation of East Africa as the original habitat of Semites in general. Ethiosemitic, at all its stages, conforms to the basic structure of Semitic with discontinuous consonantal roots providing the basic meaning and fixed patterns of vowels, inserted between them, rendering the grammar and lexicon. Modern Ethiosemitic is characterized by phonemization of labialized velar cons

Abstract:

Abstract This chapter covers Amharic, which is the working language of the Federal Government of Ethiopia. Amharic belongs to the Transversal branch of South Ethiosemitic within the Ethiosemitic language family. It is one of the best studied Ethiosemitic languages with a rich body of grammatical description going back to the 17th century. Furthermore, due to its role as a medium of instruction in schools, it has a number of traditional and pedagogical grammars including monolingual dictionaries going back to the 1930s. The Amharic writing system, known as Fidel, is an alpha-syllabary or abugid
