Reviews
The importance of these articles for future research in Afroasiatic is to be emphasized. The syntax of the construct state, variation in V-DP order, and the morphophonology of verbal and nominal paradigms are three longstanding issues in semitic that receive sophisticated and challenging theoretical analyses within this collection. -- Andrew Nevins, Massachusetts Institute of Technoloy, in Language, Vol 80:1 (2004)
