Abstract:

This book brings together leading international scholars to consider whether
in some languages there are phenomena which are unique to morphology,
determined neither by phonology or syntax. Central to these phenomena is the
notion of the 'morphome', conceived by Mark Aronoff in 1994 as a function,
itself lacking form and meaning but which serves systematically to relate
them. The classic examples of morphomes are determined neither phonologically
or morphosyntactically, and appear to be an autonomous property of the
synchronic organization of morphological paradigms. The nature of the morphome
is a problematic and much debated issue at the centre of current research in
morphology, partly because it is defined negatively as what remains after all
attempts to assign putatively morphomic phenomena to phonological or
morphosyntactic conditioning have been exhausted. However, morphomic phenomena
generally originate in some kind of morphosyntactic or phonological
conditioning which has been lost while their effects have endured. Quite
often, vestiges of the original conditioning environment persist, and the
boundary between the morphomic and extramorphological conditioning may become
problematic. In a series of pioneering explorations of the diachrony of
morphomes The Boundaries of Pure Morphology throws important new light on the
nature of the morphome and the boundary - seen from both diachronic and
synchronic perspectives - between what is and is not genuinely autonomous in
morphology. Its findings will be of central interest to morphologists of all
theoretical stripes as well as to all those concerned to understand the
precise nature of linguistic diachrony.
