Lexical Relatedness

Current approaches to morphology, Andrew Spencer argues, are flawed. He uses intermediate types of lexical relatedness in different languages to develop a morphologically-informed model of the lexical entry. He uses this to build a model of lexical relatedness consistent with paradigm-based models. A book for all morphologists and lexicographers.
