Abstract:

All languages are in a state of flux, and the viable ones employ various
devices to introduce new words into their vocabularies. In the formation of
new words and other expressions, noun formation or nominalization has pride of
place over the other word-classes. Shimelis Mazengia describes and
contrastively compares, in considerable detail, the mechanisms which three
major Ethiopian languages use to satisfy their needs for nominals at word,
phrasal and clausal levels - in other words, the operations utilized for
lexical, phrasal, and clausal nominalizations. The languages in question are
the Semitic languages Amharic and Tigrinya, and the Cushitic language Oromo.
However, Amharic is sometimes considered to have undergone significant
Cushitic influence and is therefore often assumed to be structurally
intermediate between Semitic and Cushitic. The description and analyses take
tone into account for Oromo, as tone is considered to have some bearing on the
nominalization processes of the language.

The author is a native speaker of Amharic and Oromo and is also well
acquainted with Tigrinya. His competence in the languages has helped him to
insightfully deal with the description and analysis of the languages with a
wealth of data. (Harrassowitz Verlag 2015)

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the Indiana University Foundation fills in
and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.
