Abstract:

In a field still dominated by syntactic perspectives, it is easy to overlook
the words that are the irreducible building blocks of language. Morphological
Perspectives takes words as the starting point for any questions about
linguistic structure: their form, their internal structure, their paradigmatic
extensions, and their role in expressing and manipulating syntactic
configurations. With a team of authors that run the typological gamut of
languages, this book examines these questions from multiple perspectives, both
the canonical and the non-canonical. By taking these questions seriously, and
letting loose a full battery of analytical techniques, the following chapters
not only celebrate the pioneering work of Greville G. Corbett but present new
thinking on traditional approaches, including the paradigm, deponency and
morphological features.

Key Features

* Full ranging examination of morphology’s role in its canonical and
non-canonical aspects

* Chapters by some of the key experts in morphological typology including
Bernard Comrie, Andrew Spencer, Mark Aronoff, Maria Polinsky, Oliver Bonami,
Johanna Nichols and Nicholas Evans

*New thinking on traditional approaches, including the paradigm, deponency and
morphological features
