This book presents new insights on the phonology-morphology interface. It discusses a wide range of central theoretical issues, including the role of paradigms in synchronic grammars, and does so in the context of a wide variety of languages including several non-Indo-European languages.


Laura Downing's research has concentrated on theoretical phonology and morphology of Bantu languages, since her thesis on the Tonal Phonology of Jita (published by Lincom Europa in 1996). Recent publications include: Compounding and Tonal Non-transfer in Bantu Languages (Phonology, 2003) and Stress, Tone and Focus in Chichewa and Xhosa (Frankfurter Afrikanistische Blätter 15, 2003). She is also currently working on a book entitled Prosodic Morphology: The Phonology and Morphology of Canonical Forms (Mouton). T. A. Hall teaches Linguistics at the University of Leipzig. His most recent publications include Phonologie: Eine Einführung (De Gruyter, 2000), Distinctive Feature Theory (editor, Mouton 2001) and Against Extrasyllabic Consonants in German and English (Phonology 19: 2002). Renate Raffelsiefen teaches Linguistics at The Free University of Berlin. Recent publications include Phonological Constraints on English Word Formation (Yearbook of Morphology, 1999) and Gaps vis-à-vis other Effects in English Morphophonology (Phonology 20, 2003).
