About the Book

Research into cross-linguistic aspects and typology of word-formation has not been paid relevant and systematic attention by morphologists, and only a few articles dealing with various word-formation issues of this kind appear in journals. The chapters in this volume address this issue by discussing, on contrastive principles, important questions of word-formation in a sample of 26 languages. The focus of the book, as a whole, is on typological features of word-formation in the languages sampled. It is aimed at researchers that have an interest in word-formation in a variety of languages.

Review :
'The volume covers a wide range of word formation phenomena in various languages (i.e. Bulgarian, Polish, Egyptian-Arabic, Modern Greek, Danish, Cherokee, Swedish, Latvian, Murui, Mandarin, Italian, Finnish, Japanese, Hungarian). The chapters are well-referenced, and the analyses are well-supported by data and arguments. [...] The book will be of interest to researchers working in language-specific or word formation-specific phenomena.'Alexandra GalaniSenior Teaching Fellow, University of IoanninaLINGUIST List 28.3574
