Presents a systematic description of verb forms in Central Semitic that are historically derived from the prefix conjugations of the verbal system by means of suffixes, examining Old Babylonian, Amarna Canaanite, Ugaritic, Biblical Hebrew, and Classical Arabic.
Research Associate, University of Cambridge
"The formal connection of morphemes such as those between the Akkadian ventive and the Arabic energic has long been recognized, but a coherent description of the functional derivation has been lacking until now. Motion, Voice, and Mood in the Semitic Verb fills this gap in our understanding." -Rebecca Hasselbach-Andee, author of Case in Semitic: Roles, Relations, and Reconstruction
