Yearbook of Morphology 2001

The "Yearbook of Morphology" series, published since 1988, has proven to be a support for the upswing of morphological research since that time, as it presents articles on topics which are central in the contemporary theoretical debates. In this text, many articles are devoted to the notion of productivity, and the role of analogy in coining new words. In relation to this topic, constraints on affix ordering in a number of Germanic languages are investigated. A second topic of this volume is the necessity and the role of the paradigm in morphological analyses; arguments for and against the formal role of the paradigm are presented. Thirdly, the book discusses a number of general issues in morphological theory such as the relation between form and meaning in morphology, the accessibility of the internal morphological structure of complex words, and the interaction of morphology and prosody in truncation processes.
