Abstract:

This volume is the first handbook devoted entirely to the multitude of
frameworks adopted in the field of morphology, including Minimalism,
Optimality Theory, Network Morphology, Cognitive Grammar, and Canonical
Typology. Following an introduction from the editors, the first part of the
volume offers critical discussions of the main theoretical issues within
morphology, both in word formation and in inflection, as well as providing a
short history of morphological theory. In the core part of the handbook, part
II, each theory is introduced by an expert in the field, who guides the reader
through its principles and technicalities, its advantages and disadvantages,
and its points of agreement and disagreement with alternative theories.
Chapters in part III explore the bigger picture, connecting morphological
theory to other subdisciplines of linguistics, such as diachronic change,
language acquisition, psycholinguistics, and sign language theory. The
handbook is intended as a guide for morphologists from all theoretical
backgrounds who want to learn more about frameworks other than their own, as
well as for linguists in related subfields looking for theoretical connections
with the field of morphology.
