This book argues (a) that there is no principled way to distinguish
inflection and derivation and (b) that this fatally undermines
conventional approaches to morphology. Conceptual shortcomings in
the relation between derivational and lexically-derived word forms,
Andrew Spencer suggests, call into question the foundation of the
inferential-derivational approach. Prototypical instances of
inflection and derivation are separated by a host of intermediate
types of lexical relatedness, some discussed in the literature,
others ignored. Far from finding these an embarrassment Professor
Spencer deploys the wealth of types of relatedness in a variety of
languages (including Slavic, Uralic, Australian, Germanic, and
Romance) to develop an enriched and morphologically-informed model
of the lexical entry. He then uses this to build the foundations
for a model of lexical relatedness that is consistent with
paradigm-based models. Lexical Relatedness is a profound and
stimulating book. It will interest all morphologists,
lexicographers, and theoretical linguists more generally.
