This new edition of Understanding Morphology has been fully revised
in line with the latest research. It now includes 'big picture'
questions to highlight central themes in morphology, as well as
research exercises for each chapter. Understanding Morphology
presents an introduction to the study of word structure that starts
at the very beginning. Assuming no knowledge of the field of
morphology on the part of the reader, the book presents a broad
range of morphological phenomena from a wide variety of languages.
Starting with the core areas of inflection and derivation, the book
presents the interfaces between morphology and syntax and between
morphology and phonology. The synchronic study of word structure is
covered, as are the phenomena of diachronic change, such as analogy
and grammaticalization. Theories are presented clearly in
accessible language with the main purpose of shedding light on the
data, rather than as a goal in themselves. The authors consistently
draw on the best research available, thus utilizing and discussing
both functionalist and generative theoretical approaches. Each
chapter includes a summary, suggestions for further reading, and
exercises. As such this is the ideal book for both beginning
students of linguistics, or anyone in a related discipline looking
for a first introduction to morphology.
