Description: This volume provides a detailed and comprehensive description of the morphological system of Dutch, and contributes to multiple current debates in linguistic theory. This second edition has been fully revised and updated throughout with expanded coverage, new results, and a new chapter on separable complex verbs.
Review Quotes: "This book is an important addition to the literature. In it, Geert Booij offers an insightful and engaging tour of Dutch morphology, full of sensitive detail that highlights the interplay of morphology with semantics, syntax, and phonology. In addition to thorough treatment of inflection, derivation, and compounding, Booij delves into phrasal constructions that involve morphological components, with special attention to separable complex verbs. With a light hand, Booij presents his formal analysis in the terms of Construction Morphology, and he freely draws on evidence from psycholinguistics. At the same time, he shows how deep examination of a single rather familiar language can challenge highly influential positions in morphological theory." -- Ray Jackendoff, Tufts University/MIT
