Based on Hebrew data, the book defends the status of the root as a lexical and phonological unit and argues that roots, rather than verbs or nouns, are the primitives of word formation. A central claim made throughout the book is the role of locality in word formation, teasing apart word formation from roots and word formation from existing words syntactically, semantically and phonologically.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book focuses on Hebrew, a language with rich verb morphology, where both roots and noun- and verb-creating morphology are morphologically transparent. The study of Hebrew verbs is based on a corpus of all Hebrew verb-creating roots, offering, for the first time, a survey of the full array of morpho-syntactic forms seen in the Hebrew verb. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhile the focus of this study is on how roots function in word-formation, a central chapter studies the information encoded by the Hebrew root, arguing for a special kind of open-ended value, bounded within the classes of meaning analyzed by lexical semanticists.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47589752864919,"sku":"9781402032431","price":11320.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781402032431.webp?v=1774969462","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/roots-and-patterns-hebrew-morpho-syntax-9781402032431","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
