Morpheme Order and Semantic Scope
Word Formation in the Athapaskan Verb
Keren Rice, University of Toronto
Athapaskan languages are of great linguistic interest due to their
intricate morphology. In this clear and insightful book, Keren Rice
offers a rich survey of morpheme ordering in Athapaskan verbs, with
implications for both synchronic grammar and language change. She
argues that verb structure is predictable across Athapaskan languages
if certain abstract aspects of meaning are considered. This is the
first major comparative study of its type for Athapaskan languages,
combining descriptive depth with a contemporary theoretical
perspective.

Studies in Contemporary Phrase Structure Grammar
Editors
Robert D. Levine, Ohio State University, Columbus
Georgia M. Green, University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana
This book explores a variety of central issues in the framework of
Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG), a major theory of
syntactic representation that is becoming increasingly dominant,
particularly in the domain of natural language computation. According
to this theory, certain structurally key words ("heads") in any human
language determine both the syntactic form and the semantic
interpretaton of the sentences they appear in. The separate chapters
consider problematic phenomena in German, Japanese and English and
suggest important extensions of, and revisions to, the current picture
of HPSG.
