This volume presents a data-rich description of English inflection
and word-formation. Based on large corpora including the Corpus of
Contemporary American English and the British national Corpus, it
is the first comprehensive treatment of contemporary English
morphology that includes both inflection and word-formation. It
covers not only well-studied topics such as compounding,
conversion, and the inflection and derivation of nouns and verbs,
but also areas that have received less scholarly attention, such as
the formation of adjectives, locatives, negatives, evaluatives,
neoclassical compounds and blends, among many other topics. Equal
wieght is given to form and meaning. The volume also contains
sections devoted to phonological and orthographics aspects of
morphology and to combinatorial and paradigmatic properties of
English morphology. It ends with a series of chapters that assess
the implications of English morphology for morphological theory,
discussing topics such as stratification, blocking and comprtition,
the analysis of conversion, and the relationship between inflection
and derivation. Winner of the 2015 Bloomfield Book Award and
written by three outstanding scholars, this outstanding book will
interest all scholars and students of English and of linguistic
morphology more generally.
