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.

Simultaneously, the study is a contribution to the general typology of detransitivising derivation in the languages of the world.…mehr
