Introducing Morphology - Rochelle Lieber

This textbook serves as an engaging introduction to the study of morphology, specifically designed for undergraduates with limited background in linguistics. It offers a comprehensive exploration of the subject, incorporating data from diverse languages and featuring interactive elements such as 'challenge boxes' to encourage students to collect and analyze their own data, engage in online research, conduct simple experiments, and participate in group discussions. The material includes an extensive introduction to essential terms and concepts for word analysis, covering the mental lexicon, derivation, compounding, inflection, morphological typology, productivity, and the intersection of morphology with syntax and phonology. Additionally, the book directly addresses the question of what constitutes a "real word" by examining the distinction between dictionaries and the mental lexicon.
