Moving ‘upstream’ from the documented systems of Semitic, Berber and Old Cushitic the state of affairs during the common stage of Proto-Semito-Berbero-Cushitic is reconstructed. With the addition of Egyptian and Chadic data important conclusions regarding the elusive Proto-Afro-Asiatic are reached. Moving ‘downstream’ the trajectory of individual aspectual systems through their later stages is analyzed. A central piece of the monograph is the reconstruction of intermediate stages reflecting the long-term developments of aspectual and temporal categories of individual languages from the Old towards their Middle periods. The continuity and innovation in the aspectual systems towards the contemporary state of affairs in analytic (serial) constructions of Modern Aramaic and Arabic vernacular languages is explicated. The author demonstrates that it is imperative to work in a larger typological framework and that in the field of Afro-Asiatic linguistics valuable insights can be gained from the study of parallel phenomena in Indo-European languages. At the same time, Indo-Europeanists will profit from the study of typologically earlier aspect-prominent systems of Afro-Asiatic languages. The monograph offers important contributions to our understanding of universals and to the typology and diachrony of tense and aspect. 04 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/475/cilt.337.png 04 03 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_jpg/9789027248565.jpg 04 03 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_tif/9789027248565.tif 06 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_front/cilt.337.hb.png 07 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/125/cilt.337.png 25 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_back/cilt.337.hb.png 27 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/3d_web/cilt.337.hb.png 10 01 JB code cilt.337.loft xi xii 2 Miscellaneous 1 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">List of figures and tables</TitleText> 10 01 JB code cilt.337.abb xiii xiv 2 Miscellaneous 2 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Abbreviations</TitleText> 10 01 JB code cilt.337.pre xv xvi 2 Miscellaneous 3 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Preface</TitleText> 10 01 JB code cilt.337.for xvii xx 4 Miscellaneous 4 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Foreword</TitleText> 10 01 JB code cilt.337.intro 1 31 31 Chapter 5 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Theoretical framework</TitleText> 10 01 JB code cilt.337.c1 33 40 8 Chapter 6 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter&#160;1.
