 Lexical Categories and Root Classes in Amerindian Languages
 (Lois & Vapnarsky, eds). Peter Lang, 2006, 389p.

 The problem of lexical categories and root class determination is fundamental
in linguistic description and theory. Research on this topic has been
particularly stimulated by studies of Amerindian languages. The essays in this
collection, written by specialists in languages form South, Middle and North
America, provide new insights into processes, levels, functions, and the
acquisition of lexical categories, from various recent theoretical
perspectives. The volume also addresses recent debates about root
indeterminacy. Focusing on morphosyntax, phonology, and semantics, the
contributions offer invaluable of the nature of the mental lexicon.
