From "abbreviation" and "abessive" to "zero morph" and
"zero-derivation," this invaluable little glossary translates
complicated morphology terms and phrases into clear definitions. It
covers both traditional and contemporary terminology, explaining
fundamental terms in a comprehensive way for the beginner and
revealing theoretical assumptions behind the labels for the more
advanced reader. It can be read thematically to get a view of some
of the fundamental issues in morphology by following links from one
entry to another.
With an introductory, nontechnical overview of morphology for
the beginner and an annotated bibliography with suggestions for
further reading, its many cross-references link different
approaches, related terms, and alternative terms. More extensive
than the glossaries that appear in the back of linguistics
textbooks, this book, thoroughly up to date, is a friendly
at-your-side guide for anyone interested in the form and structure
of words.
