In Bracketing Paradox and Direct Compositionality: Montagovian
Morphology for Bound Morphemes, Kazuhiko Fukushima resolves
bracketing paradoxes in Japanese-morphological vs. semantic
incongruity, which supposedly pose insurmountable obstacles to
traditional and simple-minded morphology-within morphology (the
lexicon) proper. This resolution is achieved through formal
semantic apparatus developed by Richard Montague and his followers,
hence the label Montagovian Morphology. More generally and
theoretically, this book addresses the issue of the optimal
interface between morphology, which deals with minimal units of
meaning and their combination within a word, and semantics, handles
increasingly larger units of meaning in the sentence. Fukushima
argues that the nature of the interface is directly compositional,
requiring no complex syntactic supposition or manipulation other
than putting words together as is. The author concludes that a
semantically reinforced morphological-that is, lexical-approach is
superior to a syntactic one for characterizing the mapping between
morphological and semantic domains, and that syntax per se cannot
supersede morphology.
