| Summary: | "[This] volume's 24 chapters are written by experts in the field from a variety of theoretical backgrounds, with examples drawn from a wide range of languages. [Part 1] covers the fundamental building blocks of inflectional form and content: morphemes, features, and means of exponence. Part 2 focuses on the most characteristic property of inflectional systems, paradigmatic structure, and the non-trivial nature of the mapping between function and form. [Part 3] deals with change and variation over time, and [Part 4] covers computational issues from a theoretical and practical standpoint. Part 5 addresses psycholinguistic questions relating to language acquisition and neurocognitive disorders. [Part 6] is devoted to sketches of individual inflectional systems, illustrating a range of typological possibilities across a genetically diverse set of languages from Africa, Asia and the Pacific, Australia, Europe, and South America"--Provided by publisher. |
