In this volume, Ray Jackendoff and Jenny Audring embark on a major
reconceptualization of linguistic theory as seen through the lens
of morphology. Their approach, Relational Morphology, extends the
Parallel Architecture developed by Jackendoff in Foundations of
Language (2002), Simpler Syntax (2005), and Meaning and the Lexicon
(2010). The framework integrates morphology into the overall
architecture of language, enabling it to interact insightfully with
phonology, syntax, semantics, and above all, the lexicon. The first
part of the book situates morphology in the language faculty, and
introduces a novel formalism that unifies the treatment of all
morphological patterns, inflectional or derivational, systematic or
marginal. Central to the theory is the lexicon, which both
incorporates the rules of grammar and explicitly encodes
relationships among words and among grammatical patterns. Part II
puts the theory to the test, applying it to a wide range of
familiar and less familiar morphological phenomena. Part III
connects Relational Morphology with issues of language processing
and language acquisition, and shows how its formal tools can be
extended to a variety of linguistic and nonlinguistic phenomena
outside morphology. The value of Relational Morphology thus lies
not only in the fact that it can account for a range of
morphological phenomena, but also in how it integrates linguistic
theory, psycholinguistics, and human cognition.
