A newly expanded and updated edition of one of the best-selling
introductions to linguistic morphology -- the study and description
of word formations in languages -- that deals with inflection,
derivation, and compounding, the system of word-forming elements
and processes in a language. Basic concepts are introduced, with an
abundance of examples from a range of familiar and exotic
languages, followed by a discussion of, among other topics, the
definition of word-form, productivity, inflection versus
derivation, and the position of morphology to phonology -- the
science of speech sounds, especially the history and theory of
sound changes in a language. Along with two new chapters discussing
morphology and the brain and how morphology arises, changes, and
disappears, this new edition includes exercises and a glossary of
key terms.
