Zusatztext The handbook ends with a sixty-page bibliography, which is a treasure chest for anybody in-terested in inflectional morphology. There are also three indexes for authors, languages, and sub-jects that make the handbook useful as a reference tool ... the handbook under review is an extremely valuable contribution to morphology -- a resource that deserves to be widely used for many years to come. Informationen zum Autor Matthew Baerman is a research fellow in the Surrey Morphology Group at the University of Surrey. His research focuses on the typology, diachrony, and formal analysis of inflectional systems, with a particular concentration on phenomena whose interpretation is problematic or controversial. His work has appeared in such journals as Language, Journal of Linguistics, Morphology, Lingua, Russian Linguistics and Natural Language and Linguistic Theory. He is co-author of The Syntax-Morphology Interface: a Study of Syncretism (CUP, 2005) and co-editor of Understanding and Measuring Morphological Complexity (OUP, 2014). Klappentext This handbook provides a comprehensive state-of-the-art overview of work on inflection - the expression of grammatical information through changes in word forms. The 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.
