Abstract:

The articles in the present volume offer an updated view of the breadth of
theoretical and empirical research being carried on in the different subgroups
of the Afroasiatic phylum. They are written by leading specialists and are
representative of widely different perspectives and interests, from the
analysis of data from scarcely known varieties to the reappraisal of old
debates (such as the value of the Classical Arabic verbal forms).

Reflecting a great diversity of language structures and functions, the
articles are grouped into three broad areas: the phylum as such in its
classificatory and typological aspects; the analysis of the intricate
morphology of Afroasiatic and its developments; and the syntax of Afroasiatic
in its widest sense, from the clause to the sentence and beyond. They witness
how Afroasiatic, with its unsurpassed historical depth and immense
geographical breadth, keeps representing a constant source of fascinating data
and implications for linguistic theory.
