Yearbook of Morphology 2001
edited by

YEARBOOK OF MORPHOLOGY -- 11
A revival of interest in morphology has occurred during recent years. The
Yearbook of Morphology series, published since 1988, has proven to be an
eminent support for this upswing of morphological research, since it
contains articles on topics which are central in the current theoretical
debates which are frequently referred to.
In the Yearbook of Morphology 2001 a number of articles is devoted to the
notion of productivity, and the role of analogy in coining new words. In
relation to this topic, constraints on affix ordering in a number of
Germanic languages are investigated.
A second topic of this volume is the necessity and the role of the paradigm
in morphological analyses; arguments for and against the formal role of the
paradigm are presented.
Thirdly, this volume discusses a number of general issues in morphological
theory such as the relation between form and meaning in morphology, the
accessibility of the internal morphological structure of complex words, and
the interaction of morphology and prosody in truncation processes.
Audience: Theoretical, descriptive, and historical linguists,
morphologists, phonologists, computational linguists, and psycholinguists
will find this book of interest.
