Description
Rethinking Morphology by Laurie Bauer presents a new approach to understanding morphological structure. This textbook provides a clear and critical overview of existing theories, equipping students with tools to discuss morphological phenomena in relation to other linguistic contexts. The book is structured around key areas of morphology, including morphemic theory, word morphology, word syntax, the boundaries of morphology, and exemplars and resonances. Each chapter explores the strengths and limitations of these approaches, shedding light on the complexities of morphology and its connections to semantics, psycholinguistics, and language change. By examining the core principles of morphology, this book offers a comprehensive understanding of the subject, making it an essential resource for students and scholars alike.
