Abstract:

This book explores the limits and possibilities of morpheme ordering in the
noun phrase. Based on a sample of fifty geographically and genetically diverse
languages, it presents the attested – and unattested – combinations of case,
number, and definiteness morphemes. The account covers not only languages with
agglutinative morphology but also languages that fuse more grammatical
categories into a single morphological exponent – a portmanteau. The book
shows that not all patterns of morpheme ordering that are logically possible
are equally represented within the sample and, importantly, certain patterns
are not attested at all. The book provides an account for this observation by
using the latest theoretical tools from the nanosyntactic framework, namely
spellout-driven movement, backtracking, and Spec formation. The results of
this study provide evidence for the hypothesis that ordering in morphology is
governed by the same principles as in syntax.
