AlbakiReads Editorial

A practical introduction to morphology

Rochelle Lieber’s revised third edition introduces morphology through the work of identifying and analyzing linguistic data. It builds a foundation in concepts including the mental lexicon, inflection, derivation, morphological typology, and productivity, then connects morphology with syntax and phonology. Examples drawn from a wide range of languages and hands-on activities give the subject an empirical dimension, including opportunities to gather and analyze data. The updated edition adds new examples and exercises, expands its introduction to linguistic corpora, and closes with a chapter on several current theoretical frameworks. Together, these elements bridge basic terminology and the evaluation of proposals in morphological theory.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Undergraduates beginning the study of linguistics with limited prior background.
  • Students seeking practical exercises in collecting and analyzing morphological data.
  • Readers looking for an introduction that connects foundational concepts with theoretical frameworks.

Book overview

A lively introduction to morphology, this textbook is intended for undergraduates with relatively little background in linguistics. It shows students how to find and analyze morphological data and presents them with basic concepts and terminology concerning the mental lexicon, inflection, derivation, morphological typology, productivity, and the interfaces between morphology and syntax on the one hand and phonology on the other. By the end of the text students are ready to understand morphological theory and how to support or refute theoretical proposals. Providing data from a wide variety of languages, the text includes hands-on activities designed to encourage students to gather and analyse their own data. The third edition has been thoroughly updated with new examples and exercises. Chapter 2 now includes an updated detailed introduction to using linguistic corpora, and there is a new final chapter covering several current theoretical frameworks.
