Overview

This is a lively, comprehensive introduction to current morphological theory and analysis is designed to take absolute beginners to a point where they can approach the current literature in the subject. This updated second edition contains numerous in-text exercises that involve the reader in doing morphology by formulating hypotheses and testing them against data from English and numerous other languages, as well as additional reading suggestions to take the student further into a particular area.

Synopsis

This six volume collection draws together the most significant contributions to morphological theory and analysis, including foundational articles of the mid-twentieth century and more recent articles that consider the concept within a broader context. By comparing the stances taken by the different schools about the important issues, researchers are able to judge the merits of each, with the benefit of evidence rather than prejudice.
