Andrew Spencer is Professor of Linguistics at the University of Essex. He has published on the theory of morphophonology and on a variety of topics in morphology. He is currently working on argument structure alternations in Russian verb classes and their nominalizations. He is author of two textbooks, Morphological Theory and Phonology (both published by Blackwell Publishers).
Arnold M. Zwicky is Professor of Linguistics at Stanford University and Ohio State University. He has published in all the major linguistics journals, with contributions to the fields of phonology, morphology, syntax and, perhaps most notably, the interrelations between these domains. He is particularly well-known for his contributions to morphophonological theory, inflectional morphology, and the theory of clitics. His first essays on clitics twenty years ago stimulated a flurry of research from a variety of scholars in what continues to be an important and developing area. In addition, he has edited a variety of collections on specific themes, including most recently serial verbs and second position clitics (with A. Halpern).
"I'm enormously impressed by the scope and depth of The Handbook of
Morphology. The coverage is broadly inclusive, without sacrificing
depth in the discussion of individual issues. The range of topics
covered shows us just how far the study of words, their forms and
their structures has penetrated into the core of linguistics since
the 1960s, when many thought there was no distinct content to
morphology, and everything interesting was either syntax or
phonology." Stephen R. Anderson, Yale University
"Its range is outstanding. Every chapter provides new insights and
challenges. I think that, like its companion volume, The Handbook
of Phonological Theory, it is destined to become a standard
reference in its field." Laurie Bauer, Victoria University of
Wellington
"The Handbook of Morphology, edited by two outstanding
morphologists, will be much appreciated by the linguistic community
at large. It will serve as a guide for graduate students in
linguistics, and for all those researchers who need a reliable
survey of current issues and insights in morphology ... Spencer and
Zwicky should be thanked for having created such a fine research
tool for Linguistics." Geert Booij, Vrije Universiteit
Amsterdam
"This impressive volume is the first handbook of morphology. It's
pioneering status is confirmed by an unprecedented range of topics,
not to be found in any existing monograph in the domain of
morphology ... I do not know any other book which offers such easy
access to all the basics of modern morphology and to such a wide
variety of topics." W.U. Dressler, University of Vienna
"Strongly theoretic, the handbook is none the less pleasingly rich
in carefully explored data, and fits in well with the other volumes
in the series of Blackwell Handbooks in Linguistics" Forum for
Modern Language Skills, Vol 39, 2003
