The Oxford Handbook of Derivational Morphology is intended as a
companion volume to The Oxford Handbook of Compounding (OUP 2009)
Written by distinguished scholars, its 41 chapters aim to provide a
comprehensive and thorough overview of the study of derivational
morphology. The handbook begins with an overview and a
consideration of definitional matters, distinguishing derivation
from inflection on the one hand and compounding on the other. From
a formal perspective, the handbook treats affixation (prefixation,
suffixation, infixation, circumfixation, etc.), conversion,
reduplication, root and pattern and other templatic processes, as
well as prosodic and subtractive means of forming new words. From a
semantic perspective, it looks at the processes that form various
types of adjectives, adverbs, nouns, and verbs, as well as
evaluatives and the rarer processes that form function words. The
book also surveys derivation in fifteen language families that are
widely dispersed in terms of both geographical location and
typological characteristics.
