Abstract:

Morphological structures interact dynamically with lexical processing and
storage, with the parameters of morphological typology being partly dependent
on cognitive pathways for processing, storage and generalization of word
structure, and vice versa. Bringing together a team of well-known scholars,
this book examines the relationship between linguistic cognition and the
morphological diversity found in the world's languages. It includes research
from across linguistic and cognitive science sub-disciplines that looks at the
nature of typological diversity and its relationship to cognition, touching on
concepts such as complexity, interconnectedness within systems, and emergent
organization. Chapters employ experimental, computational, corpus-based and
theoretical methods to examine specific morphological phenomena, and an
overview chapter provides a synthesis of major research trends,
contextualizing work from different methodological and philosophical
perspectives. Offering a novel perspective on how cognition contributes to our
understanding of word structure, it is essential reading for psycholinguists,
theoreticians, typologists, computational modelers and cognitive scientists.
