Description
Word and Paradigm Morphology provides an introduction to two influential models of morphology: word and paradigm approaches. These models have been revitalized in recent years and are placed within the broader context of intellectual traditions that span from classical grammars to modern information-theoretic paradigms. The book synthesizes these traditions, highlighting commonalities between word and paradigm approaches, as well as strategies for formalizing their ideas. It also explores how experimental methodologies have validated these concepts. An in-depth comparison of contemporary variants isolates the central assumptions about morphological units and relations that distinguish implicational from realizational models. Suitable for both newcomers to morphology and experienced researchers, this volume offers a detailed account of the history and underlying principles of word and paradigm models.
