Harmonic serialism is an active research programme in phonology and
syntax but has so far not been pursued in morphology. This book
delivers a proof of concept: It shows that harmonic serialism can
be substantiated as a viable approach to inflectional morphology,
covering roughly the same ground as standard models like
Distributed Morphology or Paradigm Function Morphology.
Furthermore, based on empirical evidence from a variety of
typologically different languages, Inflectional Morphology in
Harmonic Serialism offers a fresh perspective on the composition of
inflected words that is made possible by a strictly derivational
orientation incorporating repeated optimization procedures. This
gives rise to new and convincing solutions to some recalcitrant
problems in inflectional morphology, related to phenomena like
affix order, extended exponence, disjunctive blocking, non-local
stem allomorphy, *ABA patterns, impoverishment effects, deponency,
and paradigm gaps. The book introduces harmonic serialism from
scratch and develops morphological analyses against the background
of applications of the theory in phonology and syntax. It will be
of use to students and scholars interested in morphology,
phonology, syntax, and grammatical theory more generally.
