Each chapter (with the exception of the last one) is provided with
pertinent exercices. Its data are taken from languages the author has
been researching over the last twenty years (Latin, Greek, Turkish,
Arabic, Hebrew, Sanskrit, Russian). Its argumentation is built around
the major turning points in the history of morphology linked with
scholars such as Hockett (1954), Matthews (1974), Bybee (1985),
Dressler (1985), Bauer (1988), Spencer (1991), Carstairs-McCarthy
(1992) and Aronoff (1993). In the last chapter the author explicates a
cognitively conceived subdiscipline of Morphology in its relation to
Formal Syntax, Generative Phonology, Functional Grammar, so-called
Natural Morphology, Universal Grammar, and Typology.
