These seemingly disparate articles have a common touchstone in their focus on a word-based, paradigmatic approach to morphology. The chapters in this book elaborate on these basic themes, from the further exploration of paradigms, to studies involving words, stems, and affixes, to examinations of competition, inheritance, and defaults, to investigations of morphomes, to ways that morphology interacts with other parts of the language from phonology to sociolinguistics and applied linguistics. The editors and contributors dedicate this volume to Prof. Mark Aronoff for his profound influence on the field. 353 8 25 2021 7 30 2021 9789027259639 9789027259745 John Benjamins Publishing Company Amsterdam 10.1075/cilt.353 http://www.jbe-platform.com/content/books/9789027259745 https://www.jbe-platform.com/deliver/fulltext/9789027259745.pdf https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1075/cilt.353/html Olivier Bonami Université de Paris, LLF, CNRS https://ror.org/0223bz716 https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0688-3855 Sacha Beniamine University of Surrey, SMG https://ror.org/00ks66431 https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2584-3576 Abstract Stem allomorphy plays a central role in the recent history of morphology, in no small part thanks to a research program initiated by Aronoff (1994) . Yet, there is no agreed upon way of deciding whether some bit of form should be considered a proper part of a stem allomorph or an independent exponent. We explore the possibility of just doing away with the notion of stem allomorphy in inflection. We use computational methods to identify within each word a sequence of strings that do not take part in any alternation within that word’s paradigm. We then discuss the relationship of such sequences to the classical notion of a stem, and argue that discontinuous stems are both conceptually and empirically more satisfactory. 8 25 2021 7 30 2021 81 98 10.1075/cilt.353.05bon https://benjamins.com/catalog/cilt.353.05bon https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1075/cilt.353.05bon/html 10.1093/acprof:oso/9780199547548.003.0003 10.1353/lan.2013.0054 10.1093/acprof:oso/9780199274796.003.0010 Morphology by itself Aronoff 1994 Celex Baayen 1995 Typologie quantitative des systèmes de classes flexionnelles Beniamine 2018 10.1353/lan.2003.0206 10.1017/S0022226706004191 10.1093/acprof:oso/9780199593545.001.0001 10.1515/9783110889307 10.3366/word.2012.0016 10.3366/word.2016.0092 The proceedings of the HPSG ’01 conference Bonami 51 2002 Suppletion and stem dependency in inflectional morphology Foisonnements morphologiques. etudes en hommage à Françoise Kerleroux Bonami 17 2014 De formes en thèmes 10.1051/shsconf/20140801223 Morphologie flexionnelle et dialectologie romane. typologie(s) et modélisation(s) Bonami 111 2014 Sur la morphologie implicative dans la conjugaison du portugais: une étude quantitative Cuadernos de lingüística Boyé 9 2006 The structure of allomorphy in spanish verbal inflection 10.1515/9783110919745.196 10.1023/A:1006496821412 Allomorphy in inflection Carstairs 1987 10.2307/416326 10.1353/lan.2007.0006 10.1017/CBO9780511790492 10.1007/BF02603120 Similarity and frequency in phonology Frisch 1997 10.1016/j.tics.2005.04.002 10.2307/412891 Sequence comparison in historical linguistics List 2014 10.1017/S0022226700015231 Inflectional morphology.
