Review

Rethinking Morphology is a lively and accessible tour of word-formation patterns and theories of morphology. It offers excellent insights into the strong suits of different classical approaches, also laying out the motivation for more recent cognitively-based views. It will be equally useful as a textbook and as a reference work for researchers in related fields.--Professor Janet B. Pierrehumbert, University of Oxford

Description for Teachers/Educators

Potential use on advanced (2ndand 3rdyear) undergraduate courses and on MA courses, for example: UCL, PLIN7312: Morphology The goal of morphology is to understand the constraints on well-formedness in words: what makes a possible word and how do affixes and roots combine, given constraints from the syntax, semantics, phonology, and the morphology proper. This course discusses the essential background information and critically discusses case studies from a range of typologically diverse languages, illustrating both inflection and derivation. Upon successful completion, students will be able to provide basic morphological theories and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each, and understand key morphological phenomena and generate predictions based on the existing models of them University of Edinburgh, LASC10007: English Word-Formation (Y3, optional) This course gives students the opportunity to investigate, in the light of current morphological theory, the word-formation processes of Modern English. The approach throughout will be mainly synchronic, with occasional reference to diachrony. The second half of the course will focus on current morphological theory, and in particular on the architecture of the grammar: how do we model productivity differentials in a formal grammar? Is there a separate morphological module? How does the morphology interact with the syntax and with the phonology? Professor Heinz Giegerich University of Edinburgh, LING3310: Introduction to Morphology (P/grad) Topics covered include: Discussion of basic concepts: word, morpheme, lexeme. Inflection vs. derivation. A survey of the derivational morphology of English. Headedness. The Unitary Base Hypothesis. Rival morphological processes and 'blocking'. The mental lexicon, lexical accessing and 'productivity'. Compounding in English and the Lexical Integrity Principle. The lexicon-syntax 'continuum' and its problems. Interactions between morphology, syntax and phonology. Professor Heinz Giegerich SOAS, 152900036: Morphology (Y2/Y3) The objective of this module is to provide an introduction to major concepts in the study of morphology and discusses its place within linguistic theory. At the end of the module students will be familiar with different types of morphology and how it is used across languages. They will be aware of which principles of language govern the distribution of morphology and how morphology interacts with other components of language. Professor Irina Nikolaeva University of Pennsylvania, LING404: Morphological Theory This course will explore some issues concerning the internal structure of words. After a brief introduction to some basic terms and concepts, we will discuss the interaction of morphology with phonology. We will look both at how morphology conditions phonological rules and how phonology conditions morphology. Then we will turn to the interaction of syntax and morphology. We will look at some problems raised by inflectional morphology, clitics and compounds. Professor David Embeck
