Commentaire
"This characteristic of the book particularly recommendsit for teaching, as it is often the case that undergraduatestudents are reluctant to engage in argumentation and favorprescriptive contents. This book manages to lure the student intothinking and arguing rather than learning definitions." ( Anglistik , 2 September 2012)
"The intended audience is undergraduate students in linguisticsbut the text is accessible enough for a person from a generalaudience wanting to understand the basic concepts in morphologicaltheory and practice in linguistics." (Linguist, 25 June 2011)
"Aronoff and Fudeman have produced a clear and jargon-freeintroduction to contemporary morphological theory and practice. Thebook succeeds particularly in clarifying the empirical content,organizational principles and analytic techniques that distinguishmorphology from other areas of linguistics."
- James P. Blevins , University of Cambridge
