Abstract:

The contributions in this volume emerge from presentations held within the
panel "Time in the Languages of the Horn of Africa" at the 19th International
Conference of Ethiopian Studies (Warsaw, 2015): "Ethiopia - Diversity and
Interconnections through Space and Time". The purpose of this panel was to
develop a better understanding of time concepts in languages spoken at the
Horn of Africa, and to gain new insights into typological and areallinguistic
issues related to the expression of time in these languages. 

Two research topics dominated the presentations: in-depth studies on
tense/aspect systems of individual languages, and typological contrastive
comparisons of specific tense/aspect features in closely related languages.
The first section deals with tense/aspect phenomena in individual mostly
Ethio-Semitic languages. Topics are Ge'ez static verbs, Gumer
perfective/imperfect aspect, particular parts of the Amharic tense/aspect
system (two contributions), and tense/aspect in the Cushitic language Oromo (a
non-Ethio-Semitic language). The second section contains three comparative
studies of tense/aspect phenomena in various Ethio-Semitic languages.
