This volume surveys the current debate on the morphome, bringing
together experts from different linguistic fields-morphology,
phonology, semantics, typology, historical linguistics-and from
different theoretical backgrounds, including both proponents and
critics of autonomous morphology. The concept of the morphome is
one of the most influential but contentious ideas in contemporary
morphology. The term is typically used to denote a pattern of
exponence lacking phonological, syntactic, or semantic motivation,
and putative examples of morphomicity are frequently put forward as
evidence for the existence of a purely morphological level of
linguistic representation. Central to the volume is the need to
attain a deeper understanding of morphomic patterns, developing
stringent diagnostics of their existence, exploring the formal
grammatical devices required to characterize them adequately, and
assessing their implications for language acquisition and change.
The extensive empirical evidence is drawn from a wide range of
languages, including Archi, German, Kayardild, Latin and its
descendants, Russian, Sanskrit, Selkup, Ulwa, and American Sign
Language. As the first book to examine morphomic patterns from such
a diverse range of perspectives and on such a broad
cross-linguistic basis, The Morphome Debate will be of interest to
researchers of all theoretical persuasions in morphology and
related linguistic disciplines.
