Understanding and Measuring Morphological Complexity
Av Greville G. Corbett, Dunstan Brown m. fl.
E-bok, 2015
1548 kr
Lägg i varukorg
This book aims to assess the nature of morphological complexity, and the properties that distinguish it from the complexity manifested in other components of language. Of the many ways languages have of being complex, perhaps none is as daunting as what can be achieved by inflectional morphology: …
Archi
Complexities of Agreement in Cross-Theoretical Perspective
Av Dunstan Brown, Marina Chumakina m. fl.
E-bok, 2016
1492 kr
Lägg i varukorg
This book presents a controlled evaluation of three widely practised syntactic theories on the basis of the extremely complex agreement system of Archi, an endangered Nakh-Daghestanian language. Even straightforward agreement examples are puzzling for syntacticians because agreement involves both …
Canonical Morphology and Syntax
Av Greville G. Corbett, Marina Chumakina m. fl.
E-bok, 2012
1945 kr
Lägg i varukorg
This is the first book to present Canonical Typology, a framework for comparing constructions and categories across languages. The canonical method takes the criteria used to define particular categories or phenomena (eg negation, finiteness, possession) to create a multidimensional space in which …
Deponency and Morphological Mismatches
Av CORBETT BAERMAN, Matthew Baerman m. fl.
2007
1340 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Deponency is a mismatch between form and function in language that was first described for Latin, where there is a group of verbs (the deponents) which are morphologically passive but syntactically active. This is evidence of a larger problem involving the interface between syntax and morphology: …
Defective Paradigms
Missing Forms and What They Tell Us
Av Baerman, Matthew Baerman m. fl.
2010
896 kr
Lägg i varukorg
An important design feature of language is the use of productive patterns in inflection. In English, we have pairs such as 'enjoy' ~ 'enjoyed', 'agree' ~ 'agreed', and many others. On the basis of this productive pattern, if we meet a new verb 'transduce' we know that there will be the form …

The Syntax-Morphology Interface
A Study of Syncretism
Av Matthew Baerman, Dunstan Brown m. fl.
Häftad, 2009
737 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Syncretism - where a single form serves two or more morphosyntactic functions - is a persistent problem at the syntax-morphology interface. It results from a 'mismatch' whereby the syntax of a language makes a particular distinction but the morphology does not. This pioneering book provides a …

Network Morphology
A Defaults-based Theory of Word Structure
Av Dunstan Brown, Andrew Hippisley
Inbunden, 2012
1805 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Morphology is particularly challenging, because it is pervaded by irregularity and idiosyncrasy. This book is a study of word structure using a specific theoretical framework known as 'Network Morphology'. It describes the systems of rules which determine the structure of words by construing …
Morphological Complexity

Inbunden, 2017
1844 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Inflectional morphology plays a paradoxical role in language. On the one hand it tells us useful things, for example that a noun is plural or a verb is in the past tense. On the other hand many languages get along perfectly well without it, so the baroquely ornamented forms we sometimes find come …
