Abstract:

This book provides a description and analysis of a phenomenon that
appears to be unique among languages that have been brought to the
attention of linguists, namely the possibility of small words
occurring inside other words. Examination of this is important because
it helps us to understand what a word is from a cross-linguistic point
of view. The second part of the book shows how Udi came to be so
different from other languages, and how in this sense it explains the
phenomenon.
