In many languages, word-formation is restricted by principles of
prosody that organise speech into larger units such as the
syllable. Written by an international team of leading linguists in
the field of prosodic morphology, this book examines a range of key
issues in the interaction of word-formation and prosody. It
provides an explanation for non-concatenative morphology which
occurs in different forms (such as reduplication) in many
languages, by an interaction of independent general principles of
prosodic and morphological well-formedness. Surveying developments
in the field from the 1970s, the book describes the general
transition in linguistic theory from rule-based approaches into
constraint-based ones, and most of the contributions are written
from the perspective of Optimality Theory, a rapidly developing
theory of constraint interaction in generative grammar.
