Description: "Assuming only the most basic background in linguistics, What is Morphology? provides a concise, critical introduction to the central ideas and perennial problems of morphology. Designed to familiarize beginning students and specialists alike with the importance of morphology as a subject to research, this volume moves organically from the morphological "facts of everyday life" to important relationships with phonology, syntax, and semantics." "What is Morphology? equips readers with the skills to analyze a wealth of classic morphological issues through narration and by direct example. This includes detailed discussion of the complex morphology of one West African language, Kujamaat Joola, and many useful exercises at the ends of the chapters."--Jacket.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. [244]-249) and index.
