An 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. Featuring contributions from an international panel of linguists, this unparalleled collection brings together both seminal work and recent morphological research on topics including derivational and inflectional processes, concatenative and non-concatenative types of morphology, and the interfaces of morphology with syntax, phonology, and semantics. In-depth case studies describe important morphological phenomena, discuss how they have shaped different theoretical proposals, and analyze and contextualize the data behind well-established empirical studies. Organized alphabetically, each chapter explores a specific set of empirical data relating to a morphological problem or issue central to both past and current theoretical debates. Provides detailed and comprehensive information about morphology and its interfaces Describes main morphological phenomena based on a large, cross-linguistically varied body of data Offers a balanced presentation of different morphological approaches, analytical proposals, and academic perspectives Covers a wide range of topics and a large number of subdomains of morphology Online version available at https://www.companiontomorphology.com Available both as a five-volume set and as an online resource, The Wiley Blackwell Companion to Morphology is an essential reference tool for scholars in the field of morphology and linguistics more generally , and will also be a very useful tool in advanced undergraduate as well as graduate courses in these fields.

"An invaluable reference tool for students and researchers in theoretical linguistics, The Wiley Blackwell Companion to Morphology brings together over 80 empirical case studies investigating the development and historiography of the field of morphology. These case studies present a set of data from a well-delimited empirical area, whose analysis has played an important role in the theoretical debates, providing the data behind well-established empirical generalisations and observations. It also draws out the theoretical relevance of these empirical data sets, but in terms that do not depend too much on the concepts and ideas of one specific theory only. Encyclopedic in length, this Companion covers a large number of subdomains of morphology, including derivational processes, inflectional processes and types of morphology, in addition to analyzing the interaction of morphology with syntax and phonology. Under the editorship of four esteemed researchers in the field, it brings together cutting-edge contributions from a global group of linguists"--
