This volume features twelve contributions addressing linguistic challenges at the intersection of morphosyntax and semantics/pragmatics in Ethiopia's Semitic, Cushitic, and Omotic languages. The first section includes two articles focusing on interrogativity in Amharic and Baskeet, examining the morphosyntax and usage of yes/no and content questions, along with the morphology of interrogative pronouns. The second section presents four chapters on complex predicates in Amharic, Koorete, Zargulla, and Xamtanga, highlighting the semantic and pragmatic distinctions between complex predicates and their monoverbal counterparts, as well as the morphosyntactic properties of the component verbs and the differences from multi-clausal constructions. The third section comprises six contributions that explore finiteness in Libido and various Ethiosemitic languages, including Amharic, G??? z, Gurage languages, and Tigrinya. These studies reveal significant linguistic variability in finiteness marking and argue for a relational, scalar understanding of finiteness rather than a strict binary classification. Most articles are derived from presentations at the 18th International Conference of Ethiopian Studies held in Dire Dawa, Ethiopia, from 29 October to 2 November 2012, reflecting current research trends in Ethiopian language studies.

Tato romantická novela mladého Dostojevského zůstala v jeho díla osamocená. Jejími hrdiny jsou dva snílci, kteří se po čtyři bílé severské noci setkávají na petrohradském nábřeží: sedmnáctiletá Nastěnka, čekající po roce odloučení na návrat svého milého, a vypravěč příběhu, šestadvacetiletý mladík, jehož život až do tohoto setkání míjel daleko od skutečnosti, ve světě fantazie a vyčtených představ. Obdobný osud oba mladé lidi na chvíli sblíží, a když nakonec Nastěnka odchází se svým snoubencem, uvědomuje si její čtyřdenní přítel, že tento krátký vztah je mu posilou pro celý další život.

Focusing on the multilingual landscape of Ethiopia, this publication presents findings from empirical studies conducted in 1997 and 1998 across nine states. A research team surveyed approximately 3,500 high school students to gather data on language behavior, revealing the distribution of mother tongues and second languages for the first time. The study highlights the evolution of multilingualism across three generations and identifies key factors that facilitate its growth, using an adapted model of social network theory for analysis.

The protagonist in this saga of intrigue and supernatural mystery, Jonathan Ramsey, is a human geographer and specialist in the study of sacred places. He is called upon to investigate the sudden disappearance of the healing powers of a famous shrine in New Mexico. What he discovers along the way is the very meaning of Jesus`s call "to be like him." When Ramsey arrives at the shrine, he learns of Adam Gwillt, the shrine's humble caretaker who has disappeared. Meanwhile, three rival groups descend on the shrine to find Adam. A right-wing Christian organization wants to destroy him, a progressive group of modern-day Christian Gnostics plans to convince Adam to lead them as a new savior, and a third group hopes to commercialize Adam's healing powers. Eventually the parties collide in a desperate attempt to capture Adam in a remote wilderness area of New Mexico. As the contest resolves itself, Ramsey suddenly realizes he's been a pawn in a larger drama, and he begins afresh the search for Adam and the true meaning of Jesus's teachings. What he finds is a startling revelation of his own deepest purpose, which he must bring to the world.

The contributions in this volume emerge from presentations held within the panel “Time in the Languages of the Horn of Africa” at the 19th International Conference of Ethiopian Studies (Warsaw, 2015): “Ethiopia – Diversity and Interconnections through Space and Time”. The purpose of this panel was to develop a better understanding of time concepts in languages spoken at the Horn of Africa, and to gain new insights into typological and areallinguistic issues related to the expression of time in these languages. Two research topics dominated the presentations: in-depth studies on tense/aspect systems of individual languages, and typological contrastive comparisons of specific tense/aspect features in closely related languages. The first section deals with tense/aspect phenomena in individual mostly Ethio-Semitic languages. Topics are Gǝʿǝz static verbs, Gumer perfective/imperfect aspect, particular parts of the Amharic tense/aspect system (two contributions), and tense/aspect in the Cushitic language Oromo (a non-Ethio-Semitic language). The second section contains three comparative studies of tense/aspect phenomena in various Ethio-Semitic languages.
