This book is the second edition of a highly successful introduction to
the study of word-formation, that is, the ways in which new words are
built on the bases of other words (e.g. happy - happy-ness), focusing
on English. The book's didactic aim is to enable students with little
or no prior linguistic knowledge to do their own practical analyses of
complex words. Readers are familiarized with the necessary
methodological tools to obtain and analyze relevant data and are shown
how to relate their findings to theoretical problems and debates. The
second edition incorporates new developments in morphology at both the
methodological and the theoretical level. It introduces the use of new
corpora and data bases, acquaints the reader with state-of-the-art
computational algorithms modeling morphology, and brings in current
debates and theories.
