Séminaire du Llacan – 29 novembre 2023‎ – Ahmed SOSAL : A reconstruction of selected Eastern Omo-Tana root extensions

Le mercredi 29 novembre 2023, de 10h à 11h, Ahmed SOSAL fera une présentation intitulée « A reconstruction of selected Eastern Omo-Tana root extensions ».

Abstract: 

The Eastern Omo-Tana sub-group of the East Cushitic family, which includes Somali, Rendille, Boni, and Maay, has a rich and complex morphology. This talk will focus on the reconstruction of selected root extensions in Eastern Omo-Tana, including formatives, nominal suffixes, and verbal suffixes. The talk will provide an analysis of these extensions and their functions in Eastern Omo-Tana. Specifically, the presentation will focus on the reconstruction of: (i) number, gender, and aspect markers; (ii) causative and inchoative extensions; (iii) nominative/plural affixes. The reconstructed extensions provide insights into the morphological and phonological changes reflected in the individual Eastern Omo-Tana languages.
