Every linguistic theory has to come to grips with a fundamental
property of human language: the existence of exceptions, i.e.
phenomena that do not follow the standard patterns one observes
otherwise. The contributions to this volume discuss and exemplify a
variety of approaches to exceptionality within different formal and
non-formal frameworks. Topics include criteria for exceptionality,
the diachronic rise of exceptions, the relevance of different
grammatical subsystems and their interaction in the explanation of
exceptions, and the crucial characteristics of grammatical models
that can accommodate exceptions. A special feature of the book is
that the articles are accompanied by peer-commentaries and
responses thereupon, thus opening up the papers to further
discussion.
