Description

Introducing Morphology by Rochelle Lieber is a lively introduction to morphology for undergraduates with little background in linguistics. This textbook provides students with basic concepts and terminology concerning the mental lexicon, inflection, derivation, morphological typology, productivity, and the interfaces between morphology and syntax on one hand, and phonology on the other. By the end of the text, students are ready to understand morphological theory and how to support or refute theoretical proposals. The book includes hands-on activities designed to encourage students to gather and analyse their own data from a wide variety of languages. With its thorough update in the third edition, this textbook offers new examples and exercises to help students develop their skills. The updated edition now includes an introduction to using linguistic corpora and a final chapter covering several current theoretical frameworks, providing students with a comprehensive understanding of morphological theory.
