Main description:This volume consists of selected and revised papers from the Seventh International Morphology Meeting, held in 1996 in Vienna. It presents advances in morphological theorizing, such as the foundations of sign-based morphology, the morphology-syntax interface, the boundaries between compounding and derivation, derivation and inflection, and the emergence of morphology from premorphological precursors in early first-language acquisition. The contributions deal with morphological analyses in various fields of the ever-widening domain of morphology and its relevance to the lexicon...
Main description:
This volume consists of selected and revised papers from the Seventh International Morphology Meeting, held in 1996 in Vienna. It presents advances in morphological theorizing, such as the foundations of sign-based morphology, the morphology-syntax interface, the boundaries between compounding and derivation, derivation and inflection, and the emergence of morphology from premorphological precursors in early first-language acquisition. The contributions deal with morphological analyses in various fields of the ever-widening domain of morphology and its relevance to the lexicon.
The comparative aspect is reflected in the above-mentioned areas, and through the variety of languages investigated: Indo-European and non-Indo-European languages of Europe, and Asian, African and American languages. This breadth allows valuable insights into current problems of morphological research in America, Western and Eastern Europe.
Table of contents:
- Introduction
- An optimality theoretic account for 'Ergative Displacement' in Basque
- Salish evidence on the causative-inchoative alternation
- Prefixation and the head-complement parameter
- Catalan verbal compounds
- Are fillers as precursors of morphemes relevant for morphological theory? A case story from the acquisition of French
- Productivity as a sign of category change
- Are Affixes Signs?
- Athabaskan redux
- Agentive nouns in Dogon
- Agreement morphology in Chukotkan
- Three models of the morphology-syntax interface
