Abstract:

This is the latest addition to a group of handbooks covering the field of
morphology, alongside The Oxford Handbook of Case (2008), The Oxford Handbook
of Compounding (2009), and The Oxford Handbook of Derivational Morphology
(2014). It provides a comprehensive state-of-the-art overview of work on
inflection - the expression of grammatical information through changes in word
forms. The volume's 24 chapters are written by experts in the field from a
variety of theoretical backgrounds, with examples drawn from a wide range of
languages.

The first part of the handbook covers the fundamental building blocks of
inflectional form and content: morphemes, features, and means of exponence.
Part 2 focuses on what is arguably the most characteristic property of
inflectional systems, paradigmatic structure, and the non-trivial nature of
the mapping between function and form. The third part deals with change and
variation over time, and the fourth part covers computational issues from a
theoretical and practical standpoint. Part 5 addresses psycholinguistic
questions relating to language acquisition and neurocognitive disorders. The
final part is devoted to sketches of individual inflectional systems,
illustrating a range of typological possibilities across a genetically diverse
set of languages from Africa, Asia and the Pacific, Australia, Europe, and
South America.
