Drawing on evidence from a variety of languages, this is a rigorously reasoned guide to morphotactics, the general principles by which the parts of a word form are arranged. Comprehensive and up-to-date, it is essential reading for researchers and graduate students in linguistics, and anyone interested in understanding language structure.

In this radically new approach to morphological typology, the authors set out new and explicit methods for the typological classification of languages. Drawing on evidence from a diverse range of languages, they propose innovative ways of measuring inflectional complexity.
