Classification of Ethiopian languages
This chapter deals with the genetic classification of Ethiopian languages. It emphasizes that northeast Africa is a region of great genetic and linguistic diversity, which is a principal difficulty in the classification of Ethiopian languages. This chapter shows that Ethiopian linguistics has seen great progress in recent decades which resulted in a growing number of languages identified, recorded, and described. Nevertheless, two languages in so…

A Grammar of Konso
Orkaydo’s grammar of the Lowland Cushitic language Konso is a comprehensive and richly examplified description of an important language of interest in a number of ways including absence of a voice contrast, marked nominative case, and an unusually distributed set of subject-person agreement clitics. Highlighted in this review are the subject clitics, adjectival notions expressed through a class of stative verbs, and a rule of glottal stop inserti…

Ethnic Group and Mother Tongue in the Ethiopian Censuses of 1994 and 2007
Results for ethnic groups and mother tongues of the 1994 and 2007 Ethiopian census are presented and compared. There are ethnic groups without mother tongues and mother tongues without ethnic groups. Names of ethnic groups and mother tongues differ in the two censuses, and only some of the differences are explained as synonymous names. Some of the differences remain unexplained, and some of the names are unidentified. In one case, Səlṭi, the cens…

Languages of Ethiopia and Languages of the 1994 Ethiopian Census
The 1994 Population and Housing Census of Ethiopia gathered considerable information of linguistic interest, notably the number of speakers of seventy-seven languages which it recognized. The Census’s list is largely consistent with lists of languages recognized in current research by Ethiopianist linguists. However, problems of two sorts arise in the Census list: dialects counted as languages and languages counted as dialects. Survey of research…
Morphologies of Asia and Africa
In 1997, Eisenbrauns published the highly-regarded two-volume Phonologies of Asia and Africa, edited by Alan Kaye with the assistance of Peter T. Daniels, and the book rapidly became the standard reference for the phonologies of the Afro-Asiatic languages. Now the concept has been extended, and Kaye has assembled nearly 50 scholars to write essays on the morphologies of the same language group. The coverage is complete, copious, and again will li…
Reference Grammar of Amharic
Consonant release and the syllable
L'A. presente quelques regles phonologiques considerees comme les plus explicatives du role de la syllabe. Il discute ensuite le phenomene phonetique d'emission des consonnes et examine les roles que peut jouer le trait non-emission en phonologie dans le but de montrer que ce trait est plus explicatif que la notion de syllabe. Il explique ainsi la nasalisation des occlusives en francais quebecois et la desonorisation en allemand

Arabic root and pattern morphology without tiers
This paper is an argument for the constraint on grammars known as the ‘true generalization condition’ (Hooper, 1976:13): all rules express generalizations true for all surface forms. I make this condition fully explicit by interpreting it to mean the prohibition of the three transformational rule-types: deletion, movement and feature-changing. The argument takes the form of a comparison of a recent autosegmental analysis of the intricate facts of…

Automatic Alternations in Non-Transformational Phonology
Automatic alternations, those traditionally understood to be required by phonetic structure, have not been a part of transformational generative phonologies, where alternations are described by feature-changing P-rules. ‘Conspiracies’, the justification of two or more alternation P-rules by some requirement of phonetic structure, have also gone unexpressed. Phonetic structure is properly expressed by non-transformational, non-directional neutrali…
