Abstract:

Interest in morphology has undergone rapid growth over the past two
decades and the area is now seen as crucially important, both in
relation to other aspects of grammar and in relation to other
disciplines. The Handbook of Morphology brings together articles by
authors at the forefront of this research effort. The chapters deal
with traditional issues such as inflection, derivation, compounding,
productivity, and various aspects of the interface question, the
relationship between morphology and phonology, syntax and
semantics. Other chapters offer briefer discussions of specific
questions that have more recently become the focus of attention. A
further set of chapters explores the role of morphology in a wider
perspective: language change, psycholinguistics, and language
acquisition.


The Handbook concludes with a set of morphological sketches of a
typologically and genetically diverse set of languages, each
illustrating one or more particularly interesting morphological
traits.
