Morphology (2nd ed.)

Morphology is a lively, comprehensive introduction to morphological theory and analysis in contemporary generative grammar.

It is designed to take absolute beginners to a point where they can approach the current literature in the subject.

It contains numerous in-text exercises which involve the reader in doing morphology by formulating hypotheses and testing them against data from English and numerous other languages.

Although primarily intended to be a course book for use on morphology courses, it will also be useful for students taking courses in the closely related sub-fields of phonology and syntax.

The book is divided into three parts: . Part 1 surveys traditional and structuralist notions of word-structure which still provide the necessary background to morphological investigations.

Part 2 explores the relationship between the lexicon, morphology and phonology in current generative grammar.

Part 3 examines issues in the interaction between the lexicon, morphology and syntax.
