DOWNLOAD EBOOK →In Somali there is a number of indicators (phrasal particles) which act as signals of completeness of the sentence and affect the case system and verbal concords. The structures in which they occur have various semantic functions such as the directing of emphasis, making statements and questions, and affirmation and negation. The formulations presented in this article provide an over all view of the role of indicators and are illustrated by annotated examples, a large proportion of which are drawn from plays, newspaper articles, narratives and proverbs. Although mainly oriented towards data, the article incorporates some of the recent theoretical developments introduced into the Somali field by Robert Hetzron and A.K. Zholkovsky.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Practical Grammar of the Somali Language: With a Manual of Sentences All we would say now is that, although a great number of Arabic words are used by the Somali, the construction of the language is quite different from the Arabic, in the inflections of nouns and adjectives, the conjugation of verbs, and the formation of sentences. On the other hand, the dissimilarity existing between it and the Galla is quite as great; and if in these two languages there is any affinity (which cannot be denied), there is nevertheless much of a very opposite character.
