Morphology and its Interfaces

Abstract

Morphology and it Interfaces is a composite volume presenting eleven chapters and at least as many distinct voices from eighteen contributors. As such, a degree of divergence in topic, theoretical standpoint and tone has to be accepted. The volume does not seek to resolve these differences beyond utilisation of a basic thematic division around the major types of morphological interfaces. There is some limited cross-reference within some chapters to the topics of others which promotes a sense of unity, while the provision of a volume index helps navigate what could otherwise be unduly isolated chapters. The editors’ introduction provides a useful abstract of each chapter, along with an indication of the principles of internal coherence. In this the editors have done as much as is reasonable in a volume of this nature, presenting as a single book a collection of papers differing in the language from which their data is drawn, the morphological interface examined, and the methological approach to morphology adopted by their authors.
