This course provides a survey of current competing theoretical approaches to the study of Linguistic Morphology. Theories to be discussed include: Item and Process (IP), Item and Arrangement (IA), Word and Paradigm (WP), Construction Morphology (CM), Distributed Morphology (DM), Lexeme-Morpheme Base Morphology (LMBM), Lexical Morphology (LM), Prosodic Morphology (PM) and Canonical Morphology (CanMorph). Using data from a variety of natural languages, the course will discuss how the various theoretical models handle some of the core issues of morphology as dealt with in LNGS 711 Issues in Morphological Analysis.
