Description

The Syntax-Morphology Interface: A Study of Syncretism

This comprehensive study explores one of the most persistent problems in linguistics: syncretism, where a single form serves two or more morphosyntactic functions. By presenting a typology of its occurrence across a wide range of languages, this book provides new insights into the relationship between words and the larger units of language.

Written by leading linguists Matthew Baerman, Dunstan Brown, and Greville G. Corbett, The Syntax-Morphology Interface is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding how language works.
