Abstract:

This is the first volume specifically dedicated to competition in inflection
and word-formation, a topic that has increasingly attracted attention.
Semantic categories, such as concepts, classes, and feature bundles, can be
expressed by more than one form or formal pattern. This departure from the
ideal principle "one form – one meaning" is particularly frequent in
morphology, where it has been treated under diverse headings, such as
blocking, Elsewhere Condition, Pāṇini's Principle, rivalry, synonymy,
doublets, overabundance, suppletion and other terms. Since these research
traditions, despite the heterogeneous terminology, essentially refer to the
same underlying problems, this volume unites the phenomena studied in this
field of linguistic morphology under the more general heading of competition.

The volume features an extensive state of the art report on the subject and 11
research papers, which represent various theoretical approaches to morphology
and address a wide range of aspects of competition, including morphophonology,
lexicology, diachrony, language contact, psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics
and language acquisition.
