Processes and Paradigms in Word-Formation Morphology (Trends in Linguistics: Studies and Monographs, 131) (Trends in Linguistics. Studies and Monographs [Tilsm])

TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS is a series of books that open new perspectives in our understanding of language. The series publishes state-of-the-art work on core areas of linguistics across theoretical frameworks as well as studies that provide new insights by building bridges to neighbouring fields such as neuroscience and cognitive science. TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS considers itself a forum for cutting-edge research based on solid empirical data on language in its various manifestations, including sign languages. It regards linguistic variation in its synchronic and diachronic dimensions as well as in its social contexts as important sources of insight for a better understanding of the design of linguistic systems and the ecology and evolution of language. TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS publishes monographs and outstanding dissertations as well as edited volumes, which provide the opportunity to address controversial topics from different empirical and theoretical viewpoints. High quality standards are ensured through anonymous reviewing. Preface 5 1. Introduction 15 2. Psycholinguistic research in morphology 19 2.1. Introduction 19 2.2. The lexicon 21 2.3.

This text is not only a contribution to theoretical morphology within the tradition of the "separationist" process morphology, it is also a contribution to sociolinguistics and language change in the sense that it shows how language standardization can affect morphological systems.
