Reviews

"Since its original publication in 1974, Morphology has remained the most lucid demonstration of the limitations of morpheme-based analyses and of the indispensability of Word-and-Paradigm (WP) morphology; in its newly updated form, it stands agaiin as the best available introduction to the fundamental issues in morphological theory, suitable for introductory courses at the graduate or advanced undergraduate level...what is truly impressive is how much of the book has not needed to be changed and remains as compelling and pertinent now as it was two decades ago."
