Geert Booij explores various aspects of morphology, including word formation processes like derivation and compounding, inflectional systems, and the interfaces between morphology and other grammatical components such as phonology, syntax, and semantics. The book also delves into the cognitive aspects of morphology, discussing how complex words are processed and how morphological structures evolve over time. This edition includes updated content, a glossary of terms, exercises with answers, and suggestions for further reading, making it a valuable resource for students and scholars interested in linguistic morphology.
