| Summary: | Loanverbs are accommodated in several different ways in the Semitic language family. In some cases, a loanverb is employed in combination with a verb such as ‘to do’ from the recipient language that bears the inflection and/or grammatical information. In other cases, a loanverb is used in the same way as a native verb without any morphosyntactic adaptation. In this note, I argue that there are also cases in the Semitic language family in which a verbalizing affix in the form of a derived stem, usually the D-stem and more rarely the C-stem, is required to accommodate a loanverb. I propose that this accommodation strategy is to be analysed as indirect insertion in Wohlgemuth's typology of loanverbs. |
