Opis: Handbook of Morphology

Interest in morphology has undergone rapid growth over the past two decades and the area is now seen as crucially important, both in relation to other aspects of grammar and in relation to other disciplines. The Handbook of Morphology brings together articles by authors at the forefront of this research effort. The chapters deal with traditional issues such as inflection, derivation, compounding, productivity, and various aspects of the interface question, the relationship between morphology and phonology, syntax, and semantics. Other chapters offer briefer discussions of specific questions that have more recently become the focus of attention. A further set of chapters explores the role of morphology in a wider perspective: language change, psycholinguistics, and language acquisition.The Handbook concludes with a set of morphological sketches of a typologically and genetically diverse set of languages, each illustrating one or more particularly interesting morphological traits. "I'm enormously impressed by the scope and depth of "The Handbook of Morphology." The coverage is broadly inclusive, without sacrificing depth in the discussion of individual issues. The range of topics covered shows us just how far the study of words, their forms and their structures has penetrated into the core of linguistics since the 1960s, when many thought there was no distinct content to morphology, and everything interesting was either syntax or phonology." "Stephen R. Anderson, Yale University"

"Its range is outstanding. Every chapter provides new insights and challenges. I think that, like its companion volume, "The Handbook of Phonological Theory", it is destined to become a standard reference in its field." "Laurie Bauer, Victoria University of Wellington"

""The Handbook of Morphology, " edited by two outstanding morphologists, will be much appreciated by the linguistic community at large. It will serve as a guide for graduate students in linguistics, and forList of Contributors. List of Abbreviations. Introduction: Andrew Spencer (University of Essex) and Arnold M.
