This is an introductory textbook on morphology, how words are formed--one of the building blocks of linguistic theory and analysis, along with phonetics and syntax. "Morphology" is a required course in most linguistics departments. This revised edition updates the theory and includes many more new exercises. There is a new chapter on morphology and the brain.
