The Typological Diversity of Morphomes

A Cross-Linguistic Study of Unnatural Morphology

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book is the first typologically-oriented book-length treatment of morphomes, systematic morphological identities, that do not map onto syntactic or semantic natural classes. It outlines the theoretical and empirical challenges and presents a detailed database of 120 morphomes across 79 languages.

Autorenporträt

Borja Herce is a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Comparative Language Science at the University of Zurich, having previously studied at the University of the Basque Country and the University of Surrey. His main areas of interest include morphological typology, language change, Romance and Otomanguean languages, and quantitative and corpus linguistics approaches to both description and explanation. His latest research revolves around the description, analysis, and learnability of paradigmatic structures of different kinds (morphomic vs morphemic), and the synchronic profile and diachronic trajectories of morphological complexity across the world's languages.
