PRAISE FOR THIS EDITION
"What is Morphology? continues to be the most attractive, accessible, and entertaining introduction to morphology on the market. It is a lively conversation between the authors and their readers, which radiates enthusiasm for its subject, while stimulating readers to think about morphology for themselves through numerous skillfully designed examples and exercises. The book is deliberately theory-neutral but leaves no doubt about the fundamental importance of morphology within linguistic theory."
--Martin Maiden, University of Oxford
"It's no surprise that What is Morphology? is now appearing in a third edition. Aronoff and Fudeman's textbook is a fun, highly accessible introduction to morphology, providing an excellent grounding in the key distinctions and theoretical issues."
--Dunstan Brown, University of York
PRAISE FOR PRIOR EDITION
"Aronoff and Fudeman have produced a clear and jargon-free introduction to contemporary morphological theory and practice. The book succeeds particularly in clarifying the empirical content, organizational principles and analytic techniques that distinguish morphology from other fields of linguistics."
--James P. Blevins, University of Cambridge
What is Morphology? Third Edition, provides a critical introduction to the central ideas and perennial issues of linguistic morphology. Assuming only minimal background in linguistics, this student-friendly textbook uses clear language and easy-to-understand examples to describe fundamental morphological phenomena and their interactions with phonology, syntax, and semantics.
The chapters of this textbook equip students with the skills needed to analyze a range of classic morphological problems through engaging examples and student-friendly explanations. Cross-linguistic data from Kujamaat Jola, a West African language, is incorporated throughout the text to explain and clarify morphemes, morphophonology, inflection, syncretism, lexemes, and other essential concepts.
Fully revised and updated, the third edition also contains an entirely new chapter on computational linguistics, and a wealth of additional exercises, examples, and further readings.
What is Morphology? Third Edition, is the perfect textbook for undergraduate and graduate students studying morphology for the first time, a useful reference for researchers and scholars with limited experience in linguistic morphology, and a valuable resource for professionals working in areas such as speech recognition, natural language understanding, machine translation, and natural language generation.
