Text complet

The Wiley Blackwell Companion to Morphology is an authoritative, state-of-the-art overview the data that have been central to the development of morphological theory in the past decades. Featuring contributions from an international panel of linguists, this unparalleled collection brings together both seminal work and recent morphological research on topics including derivational and inflectional processes, concatenative and non-concatenative types of morphology, and the interfaces of morphology with syntax, phonology, and semantics.

In-depth case studies describe important morphological phenomena, discuss how they have shaped different theoretical proposals, and analyze and contextualize the data behind well-established empirical studies. Organized alphabetically, each chapter explores a specific set of empirical data relating to a morphological problem or issue central to both past and current theoretical debates.

· Provides detailed and comprehensive information about morphology and its interfaces
· Describes main morphological phenomena based on a large, cross-linguistically varied body of data
· Offers a balanced presentation of different morphological approaches, analytical proposals, and academic perspectives
· Covers a wide range of topics and a large number of subdomains of morphology

Available both as a five-volume set and as an online resource, The Wiley Blackwell Companion to Morphology is an essential reference tool for scholars in the field of morphology and linguistics more generally , and will also be a very useful tool in advanced undergraduate as well as graduate courses in these fields.

In insular varieties of Catalan, the first person singular of the Present Indicative surfaces, for some verbs, with a final consonant cluster with rising sonority, a configuration never found in any other context or in any other dialect of Catalan. This case is compared to nominal morphology, for which phonological epenthesis has been argued to apply with masculine stems ending in the same type of cluster. I propose an alternative view, within Optimality Theory, in which the unusual sonority profile arises because no exponent is available and phonological epenthesis is ruled out by the constraint ranking. Under this view, alleged final epenthetic vowels in nominals are reinterpreted as less preferred exponents, the preferred option being the absence of an exponent.

El movimiento de constituyentes explora uno de los fenómenos más característicos de las lenguas naturales: la posibilidad de que algunos elementos de la oración se interpreten simultáneamente en distintas posiciones sintácticas, pese a que su realización fonética solo está asociada a una de ellas.
Para dar cuenta de este fenómeno, la gramática generativa ha recurrido a la noción de transformación de movimiento, como modo de vincular las distintas posiciones relacionadas con la interpretación de los constituyentes sintácticos.
Este volumen, que es la primera monografía específicamente dedicada al movimiento de constituyentes en español, ofrece al lector una descripción actualizada y crítica de los fenómenos de movimiento en esta lengua y de los análisis que se han propuesto para dar cuenta de ellos. Los autores son profesores del Departamento de Filología Española de la Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona.

This book presents new work on how Merge and formal features, two basic factors in the Minimalist Program, should determine the syntactic computation of natural language. Merge combines simpler objects into more complex ones. Formal features establish dependencies within objects. In this book leading scholars examine the intricate ways in which these two factors interact to generate well-formed derivations in natural language. It is divided into two parts concerned with formal features and interpretable features - a subset of formal features.
The authors combine grammatical theory with the analysis of data drawn from a wide range of languages, both in the adult grammar and in first language acquisition. The mechanisms at work in linguistic computation are considered in relation to a variety of linguistic phenomena, including A-binding, A'-dependencies and reconstruction, agreement, word order, adjuncts, pronouns and complementizers.
