Overview

The Yearbook of Morphology series, published since 1988, has proven to be an eminent support for an upswing of morphological research, since it contains articles on topics which are central in the theoretical debates which are frequently referred to. ""The Yearbook of Morphology 1999"" focuses on diachronic morphology, and shows, in a number of articles by specialists, how complicated morphological systems develop in the course of time. In addition, this volume deals with a number of hotly debated issues in theoretical morphology: its interaction with phonology (including Optimality Theory), the relation between inflection and word formation, and the formal modelling of inflectional systems. A feature of this volume is an article on morphology in sign language, a new area of research in linguistics. The relevant evidence comes from a wide variety of languages, amongst which Germanic, Romance, and Slavic languages are prominent.
