Abstract:

In this volume, Ray Jackendoff and Jenny Audring embark on a major
reconceptualization of linguistic theory as seen through the lens of
morphology. Their approach, Relational Morphology, extends the Parallel
Architecture developed by Jackendoff in Foundations of Language (2002),
Simpler Syntax (2005), and Meaning and the Lexicon (2010). The framework
integrates morphology into the overall architecture of language, enabling it
to interact insightfully with phonology, syntax, semantics, and above all, the
lexicon.

The first part of the book situates morphology in the language faculty, and
introduces a novel formalism that unifies the treatment of all morphological
patterns, inflectional or derivational, systematic or marginal. Central to the
theory is the lexicon, which both incorporates the rules of grammar and
explicitly encodes relationships among words and among grammatical patterns.
Part II puts the theory to the test, applying it to a wide range of familiar
and less familiar morphological phenomena. Part III connects Relational
Morphology with issues of language processing and language acquisition, and
shows how its formal tools can be extended to a variety of linguistic and
nonlinguistic phenomena outside morphology. The value of Relational Morphology
thus lies not only in the fact that it can account for a range of
morphological phenomena, but also in how it integrates linguistic theory,
psycholinguistics, and human cognition.
