Trubetzkoy's Orphan: Proceedings Of The Montréal Roundtable On Morphonology: Contemporary Responses (montréal, October 1994) (current Issues In Linguistic Theory)

This work is a record of a roundtable devoted to the boundary between phonology and morphology and an attempt to define the term "morphonology". It contains papers on the related topics of "morphoprosody" and the "lexicon", views from "the floor" and "the outside", and edited transcripts of the discussions that took place at the Montreal Roundtable in October 1994.

Essentially a record of a roundtable devoted to that boundary (Montréal, October 1994), Trubetzkoy's Orphan is a full and fascinating picture of some very important contemporary attempts to define it. In addition to papers that focus on it, the volume also contains important papers on the closely related topics of ‘morphoprosody'and the ‘lexicon', views from ‘the floor'and ‘the outside', and edited transcripts of the discussions that took place at the Montréal Roundtable.Intended both for practicising and future phonologists and morpho-logists, Trubetzkoy's Orphan is a valuable record of a very important debate regarding one of the most central questions in phonology and morphology. These conference proceedings cover such topics in linguistic theory as: allomorphy and morphophonology; modularity, mor(pho)nology, and gradience; linguistics without morphophonology; productivity and the lexicon; and morphoprosody.
