Description

Understanding Morphology by Martin Haspelmath and Andrea D. Sims provides a comprehensive introduction to the study of word structure, starting from the basics. This new edition has been fully revised to reflect the latest research, incorporating 'big picture' questions to highlight central themes in morphology. The book explores morphological phenomena across various languages, covering core areas such as inflection and derivation, as well as the interfaces between morphology and syntax and phonology. It also delves into diachronic change, including analogy and grammaticalization. The authors present theories clearly and accessibly, focusing on shedding light on the data rather than promoting a particular approach. Suitable for both beginners in linguistics and those in related disciplines seeking an introduction to morphology, this book includes summaries, suggestions for further reading, and exercises to support learning.
