Abstract:

Sometimes dismissed as linguistically epiphenomenal, inflectional paradigms
are, in reality, the interface of a language's morphology with its syntax and
semantics. Drawing on abundant evidence from a wide range of languages
(French, Hua, Hungarian, Kashmiri, Latin, Nepali, Noon, Old Norse, Sanskrit,
Turkish, Twi and others), Stump examines a variety of mismatches between
words' content and form, including morphomic patterns, defectiveness,
overabundance, syncretism, suppletion, deponency and polyfunctionality. He
demonstrates that such mismatches motivate a new grammatical architecture in
which two kinds of paradigms are distinguished: content paradigms, which
determine word forms' syntactic distribution and semantic interpretation, and
form paradigms, which determine their inflectional realization. In this
framework, the often nontrivial linkage between a lexeme's content paradigm
and its stems' form paradigm is the nexus at which incongruities of content
and form are resolved. Stump presents clear and precise analyses of a range of
morphological phenomena in support of this theoretical innovation.
