Meeting Description:

The second installment of the Workshop on Afroasiatic will focus on
the middle t-morpheme and will be held on the 8-9 of May 2024 at the
University of Edinburgh!

The Afroasiatic t-morpheme is a valency-alternating morpheme most
commonly found to denote de-transitives, or more specifically:
passives, middles, and anticausatives. While the morpheme is attested
in all branches of Afroasiatic, its functional distributions vary
across languages.

Synchronically, the morpheme's effect on argument structure has only
been investigated for a few languages of Semitic and Berber, with
investigations of its use in Egyptian, Chadic, Cushitic, and Omotic
remaining rare and descriptive at most. As a result, the diachrony of
the morpheme is even more poorly understood.

In hopes of bettering our understanding of the morpheme in its
Afroasiatic context, this workshop sets out to bring researchers of
theoretical linguistic, Semitic linguistic, and philological
specialisations together to

1.      Gather and map the different patterns and issues associated
with the form across Afroasiatic,
2.      Initiate a methodological discussion on how to approach and
solve these issues, and
3.      Open up the discussion on the morpheme’s reconstruction to
Proto-Afroasiatic.
