Middle Derivation in Cushitic Languages by nohjpetrol is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This article discusses the semantic properties of middle derivation in various Cushitic languages, highlighting that middles are expressed derivationally rather than inflectionally. It examines the presence of transitive middles, the distinction between middle and reflexive markers, and categorizes middle verbs into derived, deponent, and denominal forms. The paper focuses on specific languages such as Afar, Iraqw, Oromo, and Somali, analyzing their middle marking systems and semantic domains.
