In presenting the morphology of English in relation to theoretical developments that have shaped the field over the last couple of decades, this textbook gives a reasoned overview of the morphology of English. Each chapter analyses English morphological data on a particular theme, before introducing the theoretical tools and apparatus related to them. Themes covered include: the status of affixes, interaction of phonology and morphology, affix-order, roots and stems, blocking and syncretism in inflexion. Discussion of morphology's relationship with psycholinguistics and cognitive science is also included.This textbook is ideal for linguistics students seeking an overview of the issues raised in describing and explaining the morphological component of English.
Jan Don is an associate professor of the University of Amsterdam. He graduated from Utrecht University in 1993 with a dissertation on morphological conversion. Since he has published several papers on the morphology of Dutch and some more theoretical contributions. He was co-editor of Parts of Speech, a volume on the theory of word-classes.
