  • The paper represents the first instalment of a series of about thirty planned studies on the whole corpus of biconsonantal Semitic 'roots'. The aim of these studies is, on the one hand, to identify such clusters as actual lexical units in the Semitic lexicon and, on other, to determine their productivity in terms of lexical expansions. To achieve this, all the biconsonantal 'roots' will have been empirically scrutinised by searching for all their possible combinations with the ten 'morphemic' determinatives (/', h, l, m, n, r, s, t, w, y/) in all three possible positions: prefixed, infixed, and suffixed. This search has been carried out on the basis of the generally accepted dictionaries of the Semitic languages, ancient and modern, taking into account phonological and semantic feasibility as well.
