Abstract:

This volume contains 22 of the papers presented at the 5th Conference
on Afroasiatic Languages (CAL 5) held at Université Paris VII in June
2000.

The authors report their latest research on the syntax, morphology,
and phonology of quite a number of languages (Arabic, Hebrew, Amharic,
Tigrinya, Coptic Egyptian, Berber, Hausa, Beja, Somali, Gamo). The
articles discuss new solutions to familiar questions such as the free
state/construct state alternation of nouns, the Semitic template
system, and the morphosyntax of nominal and verbal plurality. Ten of
the papers center on morphology, especially the relation of phonology
to syntax and morphology; others address questions at the
syntax/semantics/pragmatics interface; two papers also offer
comparative and historical perspectives. Taken as a whole, the papers
provide an accurate picture of the state of current research in
Afroasiatic linguistics, containing important new data and new
analyses. Given its coverage, the book is a valuable resource for
anyone interested in Afroasiatic languages and theoretical
linguistics.
