Aspects of the Latin Conjugation - Interface Explorations [Ie] by David Embick & Morris Halle Hardcover

About the Book

This series consists of collected volumes and monographs about specific issues dealing with interfaces among the subcomponents of linguistic structure: phonology-morphology, phonology-syntax, syntax-semantics, syntax-morphology, and syntax-lexicon. Recent linguistic research has recognized that the subcomponents of grammar interact in non-trivial ways. What is currently under debate is the actual range of such interactions and their most appropriate representation in grammar, and this is precisely the focus of this series. Specifically, it provides a general overview of various topics by examining them through the interaction of grammatical components. The books function as a state-of- the-art report of research.

Book Synopsis

From 1999-2004, David Embick and the late Morris Halle developed a compelling analysis of the Latin conjugation using the framework of Distributed Morphology. Though not finished during Halle's lifetime, it remains remarkably relevant to ongoing research. Aspects of the Latin Conjugation makes this work available for the first time, and includes a preface and supplementary material putting the volume in its historical and theoretical context.
