Morphology

Autor Antonio Fábregas, Sergio Scalise
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 11 mai 2012

Relevanța acestui volum pentru examenele de licență și masterat în filologie, precum și pentru acreditările academice în lingvistică, derivă din capacitatea sa de a sintetiza teorii complexe într-un format didactic riguros. În Morphology, descoperim o abordare care depășește prezentările tradiționale, concentrându-se pe tranziția „de la date la teorii”. Apreciem în mod deosebit modul în care Antonio Fábregas și Sergio Scalise recalibrează discuția despre Ipoteza Integrității Lexicale, integrând perspective moderne din Programul Minimalist și Gramatica Construcțiilor, elemente adesea omise de manualele standard. Comparabil cu Understanding Morphology de Martin Haspelmath în ceea ce privește rigoarea analitică, acest manual se diferențiază prin faptul că este actualizat pentru noile cadre teoretice care redefinesc locul morfologiei în arhitectura gramaticii. Dacă Understanding Morphology este ideal pentru un prim contact cu disciplina, volumul de față este construit special pentru studenții avansați, oferind instrumente pentru cercetare originală. Structura cărții este progresivă: începe cu definiții fundamentale și clase de morfeme, avansează către dezbaterea existenței morfemelor (analizând fenomene precum morfemele „cranberry” sau formarea cuvintelor de tip priscianic) și culminează cu motivarea structurilor morfologice. Poziționată în contextul operei autorului, Morphology extinde expertiza empirică demonstrată de Antonio Fábregas în The Routledge Handbook of Spanish Morphology către un cadru teoretic general aplicabil limbii engleze. Lucrarea nu se limitează la descriere, ci explorează interfața dintre morfologie, sintaxă și semantica lexicală, oferind o viziune integrată asupra modului în care unitățile de sens se asamblează în sistemul lingvistic.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm această carte studenților de la litere și cercetătorilor care doresc să înțeleagă morfologia nu doar ca pe o listă de prefixe și sufixe, ci ca pe un modul dinamic aflat la intersecția cu sintaxa. Cititorul câștigă o metodologie de analiză critică și acces la cele mai noi dezbateri teoretice, fiind un instrument esențial pentru pregătirea cursurilor de lingvistică avansată și pentru fundamentarea lucrărilor de cercetare.

Descriere scurtă

Front cover: Title: Morphology Subtitle: From Data to Theories Authors: Antonio Fábregas and Sergio Scalise Back cover (please note that series blurb has changed slightly and that title and author names should no longer appear on the back covers for this series) EDINBURGH TEXTBOOKS ON THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE - ADVANCED Series Editor: Heinz Giegerich Books in this series provide readers with a detailed description and explanation of key areas of English Language study. The authors presuppose a basic working knowledge of the topic and explore aspects of the linguistics of English for an advanced student readership. 'The ideal textbook for encouraging advanced students to question the issues of morphological units and the relation of morphology to other linguistic fields. This volume should be an essential part of any graduate course in morphology.' Angela Ralli, Professor of General Linguistics, University of Patras 'The authors provide helpful guidance in the analysis of various morphological data and the related theoretical issues that play a role in the present debate on morphology and its place in the architecture of grammar.' Geert Booij, Professor of Linguistics, Leiden University Centre of Linguistics When it comes to defining the place of morphology and the lexicon in the architecture of grammar or to providing evidence about the existence of morphology as an independent module, most textbooks ignore some of the most recent developments in syntax - both in Construction Grammar and in the Minimalist Program - which have helped reframe the discussion about the Lexical Integrity Hypothesis and related issues. This textbook redresses the balance by discussing morphology and its processes within a general framework that will incorporate the most recent developments in the field, but also in their relation with syntax, lexical semantics and phonology. It pays particular attention to the debate between lexicalism and constructionism, and provides open activities designed to help students start their own original research and stimulate their own thinking over the morphology of their languages. By presenting the latest theories and highlighting the current challenges in morphology, upper level undergraduate and postgraduate students will find this textbook an invigorating and inspiring resource. Antonio Fábregas is Full Professor of Spanish Linguistics at the University of Tromsø. Sergio Scalise is Full Professor of General Linguistics at the University of Bologna.
