Description
Summary:The aim of this study is: i. To establish the location of the region known as Amqi and to determine its relation to and to distinguish it from the region known as the Bcqac. ii. To investigate the morphology of the verb, i.e. a study of the person morphemes and the verbal stems, as used in the Amqi letters. iii. To investigate the morphosyntax, i.e. the relationship between the formation of the verb (its morphemes) and the syntactical meaning thereof. iv. Using the observations from ii and iii above in a comparison with the morphology and morphosyntax of the verb in the Amarna letters from other regions. v. In conclusion, to attempt to characterise the Amqi Amarna letters with respect to the verb and to determine the stage of pidginization or creolization reached and represented by these letters.
