Yearbook of Morphology 1993 / Edition 1

by Geert Booij, Jaap van Marle

Overview

Recent years have seen a revival of interest in morphology. The Yearbook of Morphology series supports and enforces this upswing of morphological research and gives an overview of the current issues and debates at the heart of this revival.
The Yearbook of Morphology 1993 focuses on prosodic morphology, i.e. the interaction between morphological and prosodic structure, on the semantics of word formation, and on a number of related issues in the realm of inflection: the structure of paradigms, the relation between inflection and word formation, and patterns of language change with respect to inflection. There is also discussion of the relevance of the notion ‘level ordering' for morphological generalizations.
All theoretical and historical linguists, morphologists, and phonologists will want to read this volume.
