Description

The book is aimed at constructing a system of concepts for linguistic morphology. In a rigorously deductive way, these concepts are applied to the description of morphological phenomena of about 100 languages. The chapters are dedicated to such issues as grammatical case, voice, morph vs. morpheme, morphological processes, agreement and government, phonemization. Being metalinguistically oriented, the book is strongly anchored in typological studies and offers a number of descriptive case studies.

Review:

Il reste que cet ouvrage d'IM, mome avec ses lacunes, dont l'auteur est tres conscient, et avec son lourd appareil formel, est une des pieces maitresses dans I'entreprise de restauration de l'interet pour la morphologie, et merite,a ce titre, d'interesser largement tous les linguistes. Claude Hagege in: Bulletin de la Societe de Linguistique 2/2010 Die Belohnung kommt in Form neugewonnener Erkenntnisse uber die Vielzahl von unglaublich 'exotischen', 'bizarren', 'seltenen' und teils 'paradoxen' formalen Ausdrucksmoglichkeiten morphologischer Kategorien, die in den naturlichen Sprachen der Welt moglich und tatsachlich vertreten sind.
