Provides an argument for a radically modular view of the human language faculty on the basis of the comprehensive study of how word formation is constrained by different components of the grammar. This book argues that complex words are generated by a dedicated rule system, which interacts with syntax and phonology.
The phenomena discussed by the authors range from synthetic compounding in English to agreement alternations in Arabic and complementizer agreement in dialects of Dutch. Their exposition combines insights from lexicalism and distributed morphology, and is expressed in terms accessible to scholars and advanced students. - unique exploration of interfaces of morphology with syntax and phonology- wide empirical scope with many new observations- theoretically innovative and important- accessible to students with chapters designed for use in teaching
