Abstract:

Harmonic serialism is an active research programme in phonology and syntax but
has so far not been pursued in morphology. This book delivers a proof of
concept: It shows that harmonic serialism can be substantiated as a viable
approach to inflectional morphology, covering roughly the same ground as
standard models like Distributed Morphology or Paradigm Function Morphology.
Furthermore, based on empirical evidence from a variety of typologically
different languages, "Inflectional Morphology in Harmonic Serialism" offers a
fresh perspective on the composition of inflected words that is made possible
by a strictly derivational orientation incorporating repeated optimization
procedures. This gives rise to new and convincing solutions to some
recalcitrant problems in inflectional morphology, related to phenomena like
affix order, extended exponence, disjunctive blocking, non-local stem
allomorphy, *ABA patterns, impoverishment effects, deponency, and paradigm
gaps.

The book introduces harmonic serialism from scratch and develops morphological
analyses against the background of applications of the theory in phonology and
syntax. It will be of use to students and scholars interested in morphology,
phonology, syntax, and grammatical theory more generally.
