Similative morphemes as purpose clause markers in Ethiopia and beyond Yvonne Treis LLACAN (CNRS, INALCO, Université Sorbonne Paris-Cité) Abstract In more than 30 languages spoken at the Horn of Africa, a similative morpheme ‘like’ or a noun ‘manner’ or ‘type’ is used as a marker of purpose clauses. The paper first elaborates on the many functions of the enclitic morpheme =g ‘manner’ in Kambaata (Highland East Cushitic), which is used, among others, as a marker of the standard in similative and equative comparison (‘like’, ‘as’), of temporal clauses of immediate anteriority (‘as soon as’), of complement clauses (‘that’) and, most notably, of purpose clauses (‘in order to’).

  • App-1. Propagation of Language 173 Appendix 1. Propagation Of
    App-1. Propagation of language 173 Appendix 1. Propagation of language- the languages of Ethiopia This piece has 12 parts. It describes the propagation of language, gives the names of most languages of Ethiopia, with emphasis on Amarigna, Oromigna, Somaligna, and Tigrigna. It also indicates difficulties of organizing Ethiopians on a federal structure composed of language- based regions. 1. Language does not indicate which group of people ruled over other groups, nor does it change the ethnicity or origin of people. A language (superstratum) propagates over another (substratum). Consider the following English phrase as a way of examining a superstratum and substratum. [1] Superstratum: "the southern people"-- as spoken by an. Englishman Substratum-a: "ze saz'n pipl"-- as spoken by a non- Englishman. Substartum-b: "za souzern bibl"--as spoken by another non-Englishman. The same language (superstratum) propagating on different languages (substrata) may result in separate dialects, or even different languages if the substrata are different from each other. For example, different Roman legions (speaking Latin) ruled over Western Europe that App-1. Propagation of language 174 resulted in the Spanish, Portuguese, and French languages. The propagation of a language does not change the origin of people, as the Portuguese are not Italians or Frenchmen though their speech is rooted in Latin (superstartum). This would be an example of how the language of the rulers propagated on the subjects. Yet, there are cases where the language of the subjects propagated on the rulers. An example of the latter case would be the Manchurians that invaded China and ruled over them for centuries.

  • Ethnic Group and Mother Tongue in the Ethiopian Censuses of 1994 and 2007
    Ethnic Group and Mother Tongue in the Ethiopian Censuses of 1994 and 2007 GROVER HUDSON, Michigan State University, East Lansing The Ethiopian census of 2007 (POPULATION CENSUS COMMISSION 2007) provides information on ethnic groups (Table 3.1, pp. 98–122) and mother tongues (Table 3.2, pp. 123–148), as did the census of 1994 (POPULATION CENSUS COMMISSION 1994; HUDSON 2003; 2004). We read (POPULATION CENSUS COMMISSION 2007: 96) that “Detailed lists of the names & codes of the country’s languages were provided to the enumerators in their instruction manuals. Similar types of questions were used for both the 1994 & 2007 cen- suses, except that during the 1994 census [a] question about the most fre- quently used additional language of respondents was also asked in addition to mother tongue & ethnic group”. Presented here in four tables are comparisons of the “country total” cen- sus results for 2007 and 1994 concerning ethnic group and mother tongue of respondents, with attention to differences between the two censuses and within each census between ethnic groups and mother tongues (ethnic groups without mother tongues and vice versa). Some of the differences can be explained with reasonable confidence but some only as suppositions; some remain unexplained. (The census also provides results by Regions: Tǝgray; ʿAfar; Amhara; Oromia; Somali; Benišangul-Gumuz; Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples (SNNP); Gambella; Harari; Addis Abäba; Dǝrre Dawa; and (sic) “Region 17”.) The 2007 census reported two ethnic groups without associated mother tongues (Mejenger, Silte; s. notes 27, 34), and 5 mother tongues without an associated ethnic group (Demegna, Felashigna, Koyrigna, Shetagna, Shitagna; s.

  • Documentation and Description of the Ethnobotany and Ethnozoology of the Zay Ethnolinguistic Group

Examiner _____________________Signature _______________Date_______________ Examiner _____________________Signature _______________Date________________ Advisor ______________________ Signature _______________Date________________ _________________________________________________ Chairman, Department or Graduate coordinator 4 5 Abstract The Zay people are known for their interaction with plants and animals in which their traditional knowledge, culture and language are expressed. However, despite the existence of rich indigenous practices related to the ethnobotany and ethnozoology of this ethnolinguistic group, this people remain unexplored and no comprehensive account of their plant and animal utilization is available. In addition, due to lack of sufficient land for residence and farming, many members of the Zay community are migrating from their area to the nearby towns (Endashaw 2010:4). Therefore, the situation calls for an urgent action to collect and document their indigenous knowledge and practices including those plants and animals. Hence, the aim of this study is to describe and document the ethnobotany and ethnozoology of the Zay ethnolinguistic group.

Descriptive statistics - SRT B.2 Two sample T-test and confidence interval B.3 Descriptive statistics - RTT B.4 Two sample T-test and confidence interval References 3 Abstract The optimal language for literature and educational materials is not the same for all Zay areas. The data gathered during the current study points to Zay as optimal for the islands on Lake Ziway and Oromo as optimal for the lakeshores. However, the Zay people living on the islands would probably be well served by Amharic literature and educational materials until most of them immigrate to the shore or the Oromo educational system causes a shift in preference to Oromo.
