Abstract:

In Dynamics of Morphological Productivity, Francesco Gardani explores the
evolution of the productivity of the noun inflectional classes of Latin and
Old Italian, covering a span of almost 2,000 years – an absolute novelty for
the theory of diachrony and for Latin and Italo-Romance linguistics. By
providing an original set of criteria for measuring productivity, based on the
investigation of loanword integration, conversions, and class shift, Gardani
provides a substantial contribution to the theory of inflection, as well as to
the study of the morphological integration of loanwords. The result is a
wealth of empirical facts, including data from the contact languages Etruscan,
Ancient Greek, Germanic, Arabic, Byzantine Greek, Old French and Provençal,
accompanied by brilliant and groundbreaking analyses.
