The study of morphology is central to linguistics, and
morphotactics - the general principles by which the parts of a word
form are arranged - is essential to the study of morphology.
Drawing on evidence from a range of languages, this is a
comprehensive and up-to-date account of the principles of
morphotactic analysis. Stump proposes that the arrangement of word
forms' grammatically significant parts is an expression of the ways
in which a language's morphological rules combine with one another
to form more specific rules. This rule-combining approach to
morphotactics has important implications for the synchronic
analysis of both inflectional and derivational morphology, and it
provides a solid conceptual platform for understanding both the
processing of morphologically complex words and the paths of
morphological change. Laying the groundwork for future research on
morphotactic analysis, this is essential reading for researchers
and graduate students in linguistics, and anyone interested in
understanding language structure.
