Abstract:

A textbook survey of how English morphology has evolved from Old English to
the present

*Explores four sources of linguistic innovation: learner errors in categorical
inflectional systems, lexical analogy, productivity in derivational systems
and language and dialect contact

*Includes inflectional and derivational morphology

*Organized chronologically navigating Old, Middle and Early Modern English and
Modern English

*Draws on data from English, Germanic, French, Greek and Latin

*Includes discussion questions, exercises and suggestions for further reading

Charting the major developments in the morphology of English, this book
introduces students to English inflectional and derivational morphology,
presenting them with a long-range perspective of language change. The book is
also built around the chronological periods crucial for each type of important
large-scale change in the morphology of English, moving from Old, Middle and
Early Modern English, to Modern English. The book also explores four sources
of linguistic innovation - learner errors in categorical inflectional systems,
lexical analogy, productivity in derivational systems and language and dialect
contact - illustrating the extent to which the history of English Morphology
offers significant information about morphological change in general.
