This pocket-sized alphabetic guide introduces terms used in the study of
linguistic morphology, the study of the structure of words. The importance
of morphology has been more clearly recognised in recent linguistic theory,
and this glossary thus covers an area of growing interest. Clearly written
by a leading authority in the field, the glossary provides coverage of both
traditional and contemporary terminology.
