  • Morphological Complexity

    by Matthew Baerman, Dunstan Brown, Greville G. Corbett ...
    Series Book 153 - Cambridge Studies in Linguistics
    Inflectional morphology plays a paradoxical role in language. On the one hand it tells us useful things, for example that a noun is plural or a verb is in the past tense. On the other hand many languages get along perfectly well without it, so the baroquely ornamented forms we sometimes find come across as a gratuitous over-elaboration. This is especially apparent where the morphological ... Read more

  • Topics in Kwa Syntax

    Edited by Enoch O. Aboh, James Essegbey ...
    Series Book 78 - Studies in Natural Language and Linguistic Theory
    This book grew out of a concern we have had that very many theoretical and descriptive work on the Kwa languages were not accessible to the general linguistic community. As a result, these languages were only referred to in the context of very specific discussions such as serial verb constructions. But as the reader of this book will notice, syntactic topics discussed in the context of Kwa range ... Read more

    This collection of papers investigates two specific linguistic phenomena from the point of view of first- and second-language acquisition.
