The Morphology And Phonology Of Exponence Hardcover

Jochen Trommer

Exponence refers to the mapping of morphosyntactic structure to phonological representations, a research area which is not only highly controversial, but also approached in fundamentally different ways in theoretical morphology and phonology. This volume brings together leading specialists from morphosyntax and morphophonology. The authors address common problems, questions and solutions in both areas, and formulate a coherent research program for exponence which integrates the central insights of the last decades and provides important new challenges for the future. The book is aimed at phonologists, morphologists, and syntacticians of all theoretical persuasions at graduate level and above.

Because exponence is situated in the juncture between morphosyntax and phonology, understanding the mechanisms at work is - at least in principle - an important step towards understanding the workings of human language in general. This volume, which assembles chapters on various aspects of exponence, is thus a welcome contribution. * Noam Faust, Journal of Phonology *
