Morris Halle – författare

Many of the great works of world literature are composed in metrical verse, that is, in lines which are measured and patterned. Meter in Poetry: A New Theory is the first book to present a single simple account of all known types of metrical verse, which is illustrated with detailed analyses of poems in many languages, including English, Spanish, Italian, French, classical Greek and Latin, Sanskrit, classical Arabic, Chinese, Vietnamese, and Latvian. This outstanding contribution to the study of meter is aimed both at students and scholars of literature and languages, as well as anyone interested in knowing how metrical verse is made.

The book includes a selection of articles by Morris Halle dealing with issues in the theory and practice of phonetics and phonology. The articles, written in the course of the last forty years, concern matters that remain to this day at the cutting edge of the discipline.

From 1999-2004, David Embick and the late Morris Halle developed a compelling analysis of the Latin conjugation using the framework of Distributed Morphology. Though not finished during Halle’s lifetime, it remains remarkably relevant to ongoing research. Aspects of the Latin Conjugation makes this work available for the first time, and includes a preface and supplementary material putting the volume in its historical and theoretical context.
