In many languages, word-formation is restricted by principles of prosody that organise speech into larger units such as the syllable. Written by an international team of leading linguists in the field of prosodic morphology, this book examines a range of key issues in the interaction of word-formation and prosody.

In many languages, word-formation is restricted by principles of prosody that organise speech into larger units such as the syllable. Written by an international team of leading linguists in the field of prosodic morphology, this book examines a range of key issues in the interaction of word-formation and prosody. It provides an explanation for non-concatenative morphology which occurs in different forms (such as reduplication) in many languages, by an interaction of independent general principles of prosodic and morphological well-formedness. Surveying developments in the field from the 1970s, the book describes the general transition in linguistic theory from rule-based approaches into constraint-based ones, and most of the contributions are written from the perspective of Optimality Theory, a rapidly developing theory of constraint interaction in generative grammar.

Very Good in Very Good jacket. This is a collection of papers from a workshop held at Utrecht University in 1994 in which leading linguists in the field of Prosodic Morphology examine a range of issues in the interaction of word-formation and prosody; the book describes the general transition in linguistic theory from rule-baed to constraint-based approaches; most of the contributions are written from the perspective of Optimality Theory, a theory of constrant interaction in generative grammar (black cloth with white & blue lettering is in nearly perfect condition except for a white sticker on the front end paper; black dust jacket with white & blue lettering has very slight shelf wear; otherwise a bright, clean, tight copy)
