It provides a comprehensive state-of-the-art overview of work on inflection - the expression of grammatical information through changes in word forms. The volume's 24 chapters are written by experts in the field from a variety of theoretical backgrounds, with examples drawn from a wide range of languages. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe first part of the handbook covers the fundamental building blocks of inflectional form and content: morphemes, features, and means of exponence. Part 2 focuses on what is arguably the most characteristic property of inflectional systems, paradigmatic structure, and the non-trivial nature of the mapping between function and form. The third part deals with change and variation over time, and the fourth part covers computational issues from a theoretical and practical standpoint. Part 5 addresses psycholinguistic questions relating to language acquisition and neurocognitive disorders. The final part is devoted to sketches of individual inflectional systems, illustrating a range of typological possibilities across a genetically diverse set of languages from Africa, Asia and the Pacific, Australia, Europe, and South America.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Oxford UP","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45092055023767,"sku":"9780199591428","price":6066.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780199591428.webp?v=1769205548","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-oxford-handbook-of-inflection-9780199591428","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
