This book considers the interaction of morphological and phonological determinants of linguistic form and the degree to which one determines the other. It considers the operation of canonical forms, the invariant syllabic shapes of morphemes and the defining characteristic of prosodic morphology. Dr Downing presents an original theory which she tests on data from a wide variety of languages. Her book will be of central interest to scholars and advanced students of phonology and morphology, and of linguistic theory more generally.

Industry Reviews

An excellent, clearly written and informative work that should be of great interest to any linguist interested in the phonology-morphology interface. * Adam Ussishkin, Phonology *
...this book represents an excellent example of three aspects of theoretical innovation...For this reader, the book has readily achieved its stated goal of wanting to engage and inspire readers to do more work in PM that examines and adopts proposals from morphology. * Suzanne Urbanczyk Linguistics *
