Syntactic Heads and Word Formation - A Study of Verbal Inflection

Zusatztext ... overall the argumentation is well-focussed and the message clear ... This is clearly the work of a very talented and industrious scholar. Klappentext Marit Julien investigates the relation between morphology and syntax, or more specifically, the relation between the form of inflected verbs and the position of those verbs. She surveys 530 languages and shows that, with the exception of agreement markers, the positioning of verbal inflectional markers relative to verb stems is compatible with a syntactic approach to morphology. Zusammenfassung This title investigates the relationship between morphology and syntax. It examines the formation of morphologically complex words - that is, the mechanisms of grammar that may cause two or more of the simplest elements of language, or morphemes, to be combined into a single word.
