Abstract:

Move beyond the Semitic languages to look at other subfamilies of Afro-Asiatic, including what some call the "Berber" subfamily and several other subfamilies spoken south of the Sahara, and see what they can teach us about the nature of language. Close with a look at Somali oral poetry and its complex use of alliteration.
