The book is dedicated to linguistic morphology and it contains a
sketch of a complete morphological theory, centered around a
discussion of fundamental concepts such as morph vs. morpheme,
inflectional category, voice, grammatical case, agreement vs.
government, suppletion, relationships between linguistic signs,
etc.: the hottest issues in modern linguistics! The book introduces
rigorous and clear concepts necessary to describe morphological
phenomena of natural languages. Among other things, it offers
logical calculi of possible grammemes in a given category. The
presentation is developed in a typological perspective, so that
linguistic data from a large variety of languages are described and
analyzed (about 100 typologically very different languages). The
main method is deductive: the concepts proposed in Aspects of the
Theory of Morphology are based on a small set of indefinibilia and
each concept is defined in terms of these indefinibilia and/or
other concepts defined previously; as a result, logical calculi can
be constructed (similar to Mendeleev's Periodical Table of Elements
in chemistry). Then the concept is applied to the actual linguistic
data to demonstrate its validity and advantages. Thus, Aspects of
the Theory of Morphology combines metalinguistic endeavor (a system
of concepts for morphology) with typological and descriptive
orientation. It reaches out to all students of language, including
the border fields and applications.
