Short description:

Morphology has come to be both an active area of study in its own right and a critical link among other areas of linguistics from syntax, semantics, and phonology to typology, psycholinguistics, and neurolinguistics. The Oxford Encyclopedia of Morphology covers all aspects of morphology, as well as the connections between morphology and other subfields of linguistics. The collection presents a comprehensive survey of morphological units, inflection, derivation, compounding, morphological means and frameworks, along with brief illustrative sketches of the morphological systems of a wide range of language families.

Long description:
The field of morphology has gained expanded importance in contemporary linguistics with the realization that it can no longer be narrowly construed as the study of the means by which complex words are formed. Rather, the study of morphology must be situated in the context of our understanding of the mental lexicon as a whole. The Oxford Encyclopedia of Morphology offers a sweeping introduction to the field, showing that morphology is not only an active area of study in its own right, but also a critical link between different subfields of linguistics.

Led by Editor in Chief Rochelle Lieber and an editorial board of international experts, this collection includes 115 wide-ranging and in-depth articles, encompassing all aspects of morphology, such as morphological units, inflection, derivation, compounding, and formal morphological means. Contributors at the forefront of the field discuss the major theoretical debates and methodological approaches, exploring the interface between morphology and phonology, syntax, and semantics, along with psycholinguistic, neurolinguistics, and sociolinguistic issues. The final section of the encyclopedia presents illustrative sketches of the morphological systems of a wide range of language families, from Arawak and Dravidian to Sino-Tibetan and Indo-European, offering a wide range of cross-linguistic data that will be useful to both researchers and teachers.

One of the assets of the third volume is the very same degree of cohesion and clarity which is maintained throughout the three-volume set. Additionally, there is rich, cross-linguistic (where necessary) exemplification of the morphological phenomena/structures under examination. Diverse topics, morphological phenomena, and approaches/frameworks are thoroughly presented and supported by reference to well-established research studies ... Overall, The Oxford Encyclopedia of Morphology makes a strong contribution to the field and it will satisfy academics and researchers at different levels of expertise and/or experience. It is an extremely valuable source of reference for the community of linguists.
