The Oxford Handbook of Morphological Theory
No full textThis volume is the first handbook devoted entirely to the multitude of frameworks adopted in the field of morphology, including Minimalism, Optimality Theory, Network Morphology, Cognitive Grammar, and Canonical Typology. Following an introduction from the editors, the first part of the volume offers critical discussions of the main theoretical issues within morphology, both in word formation and in inflection, as well as providing a short history of morphological theory. In the core part of the handbook, part II, each theory is introduced by an expert in the field, who guides the reader through its principles and technicalities, its advantages and disadvantages, and its points of agreement and disagreement with alternative theories. Chapters in part III explore the bigger picture, connecting morphological theory to other subdisciplines of linguistics, such as diachronic change, language acquisition, psycholinguistics, and sign language theory. The handbook is intended as a guide for morphologists from all theoretical backgrounds who want to learn more about frameworks other than their own, as well as for linguists in related subfields looking for theoretical connections with the field of morphology
RELATIONAL MORPHOLOGY: AN INTERVIEW WITH JENNY AUDRING
Full text linkJenny Audring was born in 1977 in Berlin, then capital of the German Democratic Republic. She earned a double MA degree in Linguistics and English from the Free University Berlin in 2003. She then moved to the Netherlands, where she received her PhD at the Free University Amsterdam in 2009. After teaching at various universities throughout the Netherlands she is now permanently affiliated with the University of Leiden. Her main research interests are morphology, the (mental) lexicon, and the complexity and learnability of language. She has special expertise in grammatical gender and construction-based theories of morphology
Introduction: Theory and theories in morphology
No full textThis opening chapter provides an overview of the aims, structure, and contents of the volume. It ties together the individual chapters by identifying common themes that run through the various theories of morphology presented in the volume. These are the place of morphology in the architecture of language, the degree to which it is independent from other components of the grammar, the basic units of morphological analysis, and the relation between morphology on the one hand and syntax, semantics, phonology, and the lexicon on the other. A brief summary of the literature on types of morphological theories helps the reader to become oriented to the landscape of frameworks. The chapter closes with an overview of the three parts of the volume and the individual chapters in each part
Sebastian Fedden, Jenny Audring & Greville G. Corbett. 2018. Non-Canonical Gender Systems
Full text linkLe livre Non-Canonical Gender Systems, édité par Sebastian Fedden, Jenny Audring et Greville G. Corbett traite du genre : pas de l’identité genrée comme propriété humaine et sociale, mais de la catégorie grammaticale, plus spécifiquement du genre grammatical. Il ne s’agit ainsi pas vraiment d’un livre qui est immédiatement utile pour mieux comprendre les liens entre le langage, les représentations mentales et les réalités extralinguistiques tels qu’ils sont généralement explorés dans la revue..
Construction Morphology
No full textThe chapter provides an outline of Construction Morphology (Booij 2010), a recent model of morphology. The theory follows the basic tenets of Construction Grammar in treating form–meaning pairs (‘constructions’) as the basic units of language and assuming a continuum rather than a split between grammar and lexicon. Words and multi-word units are stored in memory if they have noncompositional properties and/or are conventionalized and frequent. Lexical items show a rich internal structure and are highly interconnected. Generalizations over stored items are captured in schemas: constructions consisting partly or entirely of variables. If productive, such schemas serve as templates for new words and word forms. Relations between schemas are captured in second-order schemas, which are particularly useful in modelling inflectional paradigms and paradigmatic word formation. The model offers a flexible architecture that complements construction-based syntax and accommodates both regularities and idiosyncrasies, as well as variation and change
Morphological Variation: Synchrony and Diachrony – MMM11 On-line Proceedings
No full textFollowing the tradition of the Mediterranean Morphology Meetings (MMM), the present volume compiles a selection of papers presented at MMM11, which took place June 22-25, 2017 in Nicosia (Cyprus). The special topic of the conference was "Morphological Variation: Synchrony and Diachrony". The volume includes 8 research articles, by authors from 6 different countries (New Zealand, France, Greece, Germany, Italy, UK), on various issues mainly concerning variation, semantics and processing

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
