Book SynopsisAn indispensable resource for morphologists and other linguists alike, written and edited by esteemed scholars in the field
The Wiley Blackwell Companion to Morphology is an authoritative, state-of-the-art overview the data that have been central to the development of morphological theory in the past decades.
