Linguistics
Interaction of Morphology and Syntax
Case studies in Afroasiatic
Edited by Zygmunt Frajzyngier and Erin Shay
University of Colorado

The present volume deals with hitherto unexplored issues on the  
interaction
of morphology and syntax. These selected and invited papers mainly
concern Cushitic and Chadic languages, the least-described members of
the Afroasiatic family. Three papers in the volume explore one or more
typological characteristics across an entire language family or  
branch, while
others focus on one or two languages within a family and the  
implications of
their structures for the family, the phylum, or linguistic typology  
as a whole.
The diversity of topics addressed within the present volume reflects  
the great
diversity of language structures and functions within the Afroasiatic  
phylum.
