Description
With contributions from a team of renowned scholars, this two-volume Handbook is a comprehensive guide to the Distributed Morphology (DM) framework. Filling a crucial gap in the domain of morphology, it covers DM's historical context, its foundational principles, and a wide range of phenomena. The first volume is divided into three parts, covering the basics of DM and comparing it with alternative models, the core components of DM, and the key issues for the syntax-morphology interface. The second volume is also split into three parts, with parts I and II focusing on morphology post-syntax, exploring its phonological and semantic aspects, and part III extending DM's reach well beyond core language components. Each chapter focuses on different theoretical issues, as well as empirical phenomena across a variety of languages. This Handbook is an essential resource for anyone who wants to understand the depth and scope of Distributed Morphology research.
