Abstract:

This book, one of the few English language publications on indigenous
languages spoken in East Africa, highlights theoretical contributions on
understudied East Cushitic languages, based on extensive data. It introduces
readers to important fields such as the OT phonology and morphology of
Dhaasanac and discusses the syntax of negation, semantics of focus, negation
and context shift. It then examines negative polarity items and context
sensitivity in the Rendille, Burji, Somali and Afar languages to offer broader
insights into these phenomena. Given its focus, the book will appeal to
researchers and students who are interested in formal semantics, pragmatics
and indigenous studies around the globe, especially those wanting to learn
about East Cushitic linguistics.
 



Linguistic Field(s): Pragmatics
                     Semantics
