Genetic and areal relations between Cushitic and Omotic languages are re-examined using the method of stepwise reconstruction. To this end, the list of about 180 most stable basic meanings is prepared. Proto-East and South Cushitic, Proto-North and South Omotic basic lexicons are reconstructed within this wordlist together with regular phonemic correspondences between daughter languages of these families. Main types of root structure in these proto-languages and patterns of their evolution in t
The past few decades have witnessed a veritable research boom in interlanguage, cross-cultural, and contrastive pragmatics, as well as in the area of (im)politeness, resulting in a widening perspective with regard to data types, objects of inquiry, and analytical methods. The present edition takes stock of recent developments in the field, as well as offering a selection of empirical papers that explore new research avenues, with a focus on different types of variation in English, on the use of
This monograph is the first attempt at a comprehensive dynamic description of future tenses that have been attested in a whole language family, namely the Indo-European one. In general, future tenses are known as a non-obligatory feature of grammar which are repeatedly lost and acquired anew. Together with this, futures are particularly prone to variation, displaying a variety of additional (morpho)syntactic and functional properties. The authors intend to identify factors which trigger and/or f
