{"product_id":"aspects-of-the-theory-of-morphology","title":"Aspects of the Theory of Morphology","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe book is dedicated to linguistic morphology and it contains a sketch of a complete morphological theory, centered around a discussion of fundamental concepts such as morph vs. morpheme, inflectional category, voice, grammatical case, agreement vs. government, suppletion, relationships between linguistic signs, etc.: the hottest issues in modern linguistics!\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book introduces rigorous and clear concepts necessary to describe morphological phenomena of natural languages. Among other things, it offers logical calculi of possible grammemes in a given category. The presentation is developed in a typological perspective, so that linguistic data from a large variety of languages are described and analyzed (about 100 typologically very different languages).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe main method is deductive: the concepts proposed in \u003cem\u003eAspects of the Theory of Morphology\u003c\/em\u003e are based on a small set of \u003cem\u003eindefinibilia\u003c\/em\u003e and each concept is defined in terms of these \u003cem\u003eindefinibilia\u003c\/em\u003e and\/or other concepts defined previously; as a result, logical calculi can be constructed (similar to Mendeleev's Periodical Table of Elements in chemistry). Then the concept is applied to the actual linguistic data to demonstrate its validity and advantages.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThus, \u003cem\u003eAspects of the Theory of Morphology\u003c\/em\u003e combines metalinguistic endeavor (a system of concepts for morphology) with typological and descriptive orientation. It reaches out to all students of language, including the border fields and applications.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"De Gruyter","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":57335560700248,"sku":"9783110177114","price":340.38,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9783110177114.jpg?v=1779282937","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/aspects-of-the-theory-of-morphology","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
