What is Morphology? Bewertungen

Aronoff and Fudeman have provided an extremely pleasant tour of the issues in modern morphological theory for beginning students. The rich collection of exercises will be a godsend to instructors and students alike, and the thread of discussion of a single language throughout the book is a brilliant stroke that other texts should emulate. Stephen R. Anderson, Yale University This unusual book combines a basic start on morphology with an introduction to Kujamaat Joola. It is a fine addition to teaching materials on morphology: a book for beginners to use with a teacher, yet one from which any linguist could learn. The authors intend students to develop 'a lasting taste for morphology'. I think many will. Greville Corbett, University of Surrey, Guildford Morphology has its own organizing principles, distinct from those of syntax, phonology, and the lexicon. Too many morphology textbooks obscure this fascinating fact, but Aronoff and Fudeman refreshingly make it the cornerstone of their exposition. Andrew Carstairs-McCarthy, University of Canterbury
