Edinburgh Handbook of Evaluative Morphology

Nicola Grandi is Associate Professor of Linguistics at the University of Bologna. His research interests include morphology, linguistic typology and language contact. He is the author of two previous monographs on evaluative morphology: Morfologie in Contatto and I Verbi Deverbali Suffissati in Italiano. He co-authored Lingue d’Europa (with E. Banfi) and co-edited Le Lingue Extraeuropee (with E. Banfi) and is the author of numerous articles on evaluative morphology. Lívia Körtvélyessy is a lecturer at P.J. Šafárik University, Kosice. Her research interests include word formation from cross-linguistic and sociolinguistic perspectives, and cross-linguistic research into morphology. She is the author of a monograph on the sociolinguistic aspects of word-formation productivity (in 2010, published in Slovak) and she has just published Word Formation in the World’s Languages: A Typological Survey (with Pavol Stekauer and Salvador Valera) with Cambridge University Press.

Grandi and Körtvélyessy have succeeded in compiling a highly informative, well-structured and well-written volume that will be the standard reference work for anyone interested in EM for the years to come.
