English Morphology

This book is designed to help postgraduate students and course instructors of English morphology build a solid foundation in teaching word formation, expanding vocabulary, and grasping grammatical nuances. It comprises 15 concise chapters, with the first ten exploring inflection and derivation through processes like allomorphy, prefixation, suffixation, conversion, and compounding, all supported by numerous examples and morphological analysis. The final five chapters focus on the connections between morphology on the one hand, and phonology, syntax, semantics, cognitive processes, and language change on the other hand, considering both synchronic and diachronic perspectives. It ends with 'Further Reading List.'
