Abstract:

The focus of this unique publication is on Ethiopian languages and
linguistics. Not only major languages such as Amharic and Oromo receive
attention, but also lesser studied ones like Sezo and Nuer are dealt with. The
Gurage languages, that often present a descriptive and sociolinguistic puzzle
to researchers, have received ample coverage. And for the first time in the
history of Ethiopian linguistics, two chapters are dedicated to descriptive
studies of Ethiopian Sign Language, as well as two studies on acoustic
phonetics. Topics range over a wide spectrum of issues covering the lexicon,
sociolinguistics, socio-cultural aspects and micro-linguistic studies on the
phonology, morphology and syntax of Ethiopian languages.
