An expanded and updated new edition of this best-selling
introduction to linguistic morphology. The text guides the reader
from the very first principles of the internal structure of words
through to advanced issues of current controversy. The first part
of the book introduces basic concepts, with the help of examples
from a range of familiar and exotic languages. The second section
highlights particularly important topics, and discusses them in
more detail. These include the definition of the word-form,
productivity, the vexed problems of inflection versus derivation
and the nature of the morpheme, and the position of morphology in
relation to phonology and syntax. The third section looks at the
theory of morphology, considering fundamental problems such as the
nature of morphological universals, how the brain deals with
morphologically complex words and how morphology changes over time,
but also with individual ways of looking at morphology, including
natural morphology, word-and-paradigm and level-ordered models.
Features: * New chapters on morphology and the brain and diachronic
morphology * Exercises added at the end of each chapter * Includes
a glossary of key terms
