Abstract:

This book presents the results of a field research on the verbal
system of Soqotri, a little-studied language spoken on the island of
Soqotra (Arabian Sea) and belonging to the Modern South Arabian branch
of Semitic. The investigation focuses on the so-called T-stems (marked
by the infix -t-), mostly employed as derivational means of
detransitivisation. In this book you will find comprehensive
descriptions of the synchronic morphology and semantics of the
T-stems, as well as an inquiry into their diachronic background.
Simultaneously, the study is a contribution to the general typology of
detransitivising derivation in the languages of the world.
