As a follow-up study to the global comparison of spatial interrogatives (Studia Typologica 20), the present book examines the spatial declarative counterparts which are provided by the expression class of spatial deictic adverbs. In a functionally motivated typological approach, equivalents of Early Modern English here – hither – hence and there – thither – thence are identified across a sample of 250 languages from all macro-areas. These are also quantitatively assessed to extrapolate areal and global trends of coding patterns. The formal relationships between spatial interrogative and spatial declarative paradigms are analyzed with a focus on the syncretism of categories and of individual cells. Qualitative discussions of patterns precede in-depth treatments of problematic cases and other relevant issues related to the research topic.The quantitative results strongly point to areal linguistic trends concerning the distribution of distinct and non-distinct coding of the three spatial relations Place, Goal, and Source. Additional aspects such as quantitative evaluations of constructional complexity are addressed subsequently.

"This textbook discussing morphology and its processes within a general framework that will incorporate the most recent developments in the field, but also in their relation with syntax, lexical semantics and phonology. It pays particular attention to the debate between lexicalism and constructionism, and provides open activities designed to help students start their own original research and stimulate their own thinking over the morphology of their languages beyond what is usually described in published works. This approach is particularly important because many textbooks ignore some of the most recent developments in syntax when it comes to defining the place of morphology and the lexicon in the architecture of grammar or to providing evidence about the existence of morphology as an independent module. This textbook discusses developments in Construction Grammar and in the Minimalist Program which have helped reframe the discussion about the Lexical Integrity Hypothesis and related issues. By presenting the latest theories and highlighting the current challenges in morphology, upper level undergraduate and postgraduate students will find this textbook an invigorating and inspiring resource."--Publisher's website.

The book is dedicated to linguistic morphology and it contains a sketch of a complete morphological theory, centered around a discussion of fundamental concepts such as morph vs. morpheme, inflectional category, voice, grammatical case, agreement vs. government, suppletion, relationships between linguistic signs, etc.: the hottest issues in modern linguistics! The book introduces rigorous and clear concepts necessary to describe morphological phenomena of natural languages. Among other things, it offers logical calculi of possible grammemes in a given category. The presentation is developed in a typological perspective, so that linguistic data from a large variety of languages are described and analyzed (about 100 typologically very different languages). The main method is deductive: the concepts proposed in Aspects of the Theory of Morphology are based on a small set of indefinibilia and each concept is defined in terms of these indefinibilia and/or other concepts defined previously; as a result, logical calculi can be constructed (similar to Mendeleev's Periodical Table of Elements in chemistry). Then the concept is applied to the actual linguistic data to demonstrate its validity and advantages. Thus, Aspects of the Theory of Morphology combines metalinguistic endeavor (a system of concepts for morphology) with typological and descriptive orientation. It reaches out to all students of language, including the border fields and applications.

Le morphème, qui est un des grands acquis théoriques de la linguistique moderne, semble maintenant un peu oublié par les linguistes et les grammairiens, qui en reviennent paresseusement au mot de la tradition. Ce livre voudrait proposer une théorie du morphème et de l'analyse en morphèmes qui soit compatible avec une véritable théorie du mot. Il illustre les concepts de cette théorie en s'appuyant beaucoup sur le français, mais aussi en essayant de décrire des langues typologiquement plus ou moins différentes comme l'allemand, le russe, le latin, le grec, ou encore le finnois, le hongrois, le chinois, le japonais, l'arabe, l'hébreu, ainsi que les langues des débuts de l'écriture que sont le sumérien et l'égyptien. Il le fait en prenant comme corpus des versets du premier chapitre de la Genèse, et les conjugaisons de l'espagnol, de l'italien et du latin. Ce livre s'adresse avant tout aux étudiants de premier cycle en lettres modernes, en sciences du langage et en langues vivantes. Il s'adresse à tout débutant qui n'a jamais fait de morphologie, ou d'analyse en morphèmes, et définit donc tous les concepts qu'il emploie. Il s'adresse aussi aux linguistes, auxquels il propose une synthèse cohérente et actuelle de linguistique descriptive.
