Charting the major developments in the morphology of English, this
book introduces students to English inflectional and derivational
morphology, presenting them with a long-range perspective of
language change. The book is also built around the chronological
periods crucial for each type of important large-scale change in
the morphology of English, moving from Old, Middle and Early Modern
English, to Modern English.The book also explores four sources of
linguistic innovation -- learner errors in categorical inflectional
systems, lexical analogy, productivity in derivational systems and
language and dialect contact -- illustrating the extent to which
the history of English Morphology offers significant information
about morphological change in general.
