Current morphology

About this book

More specifically, Current Morphology covers: lexicalist morphology in the tradition originating with Chomsky's 1970 article "Remarks on nominalization"; more syntactically oriented generative approaches which have developed since about 1985; and approaches which have focused on questions largely neglected in the generative mainstream, e.g. the organization of inflectional paradigms and the kinds of meaning which are typically expressed morphologically. The book is intended for readers with some knowledge of linguistics, either as practicing linguists or as intermediate-to-advanced students. It will be useful for syntacticians, phonologists, and other specialists requiring an overview of a neighboring branch of linguistic theory.
