[YOUSSEF IDAMMI · Rating 5 out of 5]

It is a very good textbook for graduate students in linguistics. The book provides you with the necessary knowledge and familiarizes you with the main theories proposed within the generative framework in the 80s and 90s (lexical phonology and prosodic morphology). In its 2nd edition (2006), the book sketches the more recent constraint-based framework of Optimality Theory within morphological theory, too.

I want to read this book to learn about the meaning of our language. It is very important to me.

Good but a little dense but hey it's a textbook 😂

[Roland · Rating 4 out of 5]

A shockingly easy-to-understand book on the most important aspects of morphology. Unlike many other books on this and similar topics in linguistics, the language is clear and not larded up with technical jargon. A valuable book for those interested in this somewhat unorganized field of study.
