    An Introduction

    by Andrew Spencer, Ana R. Luis ...
    Series series Cambridge Textbooks in Linguistics
    In most languages we find 'little words' which resemble a full word, but which cannot stand on their own. Instead they have to 'lean on' a neighbouring word, like the 'd, 've and unstressed 'em of Kim'd've helped'em ('Kim would have helped them').

  • Regimes of Derivation in Syntax and Morphology

    by Edwin Williams ...
    Series series Routledge Leading Linguists
    Regimes of Derivation in Syntax and Morphology presents a theory of the architecture of the human linguistic system that differs from all current theories on four key points.

In this book, three frameworks for studying the semantics of compounding are presented by their ... Read more

    Series Book 134 - Cambridge Studies in Linguistics
    Particle verbs (combinations of two words but lexical units) are a notorious problem in linguistics. Is a particle verb like look up one word or two? It has its own entry in dictionaries, as if it is one word, but look and up can be split up in a sentence: we can say He looked the information up and He looked up the information. But why can't we say He looked up it? In English look and up can only ... Read more
