THE SYNTAX–MORPHOLOGY INTERFACE
Syncretism – where a single form serves two or more morphosyntactic
functions – is a persistent problem at the syntax–morphology interface. It
results from a ‘mismatch’ whereby the syntax of a language makes a
particular distinction, but the morphology does not. This pioneering
book provides the first full-length study of inflectional syncretism, pre-
senting a typology of its occurrence across a wide range of languages. The
implications of syncretism for the syntax–morphology interface have
long been recognized: it argues either for an enriched model of feature
structure (thereby preserving a direct link between function and form), or
for the independence of morphological structure from syntactic structure.
This book presents a compelling argument for the autonomy of morph-
ology, and the resulting analysis is illustrated in a series of formal case
studies within Network Morphology. It will be welcomed by all linguists
interested in the relation between words and the larger units of which they
are a part.
