This volume explores the multiple aspects of morphological
complexity, investigating primarily whether certain aspects of
morphology can be considered more complex than others, and how that
complexity can be measured. The book opens with a detailed
introduction from the editors that critically assesses the
foundational assumptions that inform contemporary approaches to
morphological complexity. In the chapters that follow, the volume's
expert contributors approach the topic from typological,
acquisitional, sociolinguistic, and diachronic perspectives; the
concluding chapter offers an overview of these various approaches,
with a focus on the minimum description length principle. The
analyses are based on rich empirical data from both well-known
languages such as Russian and lesser-studied languages from Africa,
Australia, and the Americas, as well as experimental data from
artificial language learning.
