Oxford Handbook of Derivational Morphology

The Oxford Handbook of Derivational Morphology is intended as a companion volume to the Oxford Handbook of Compounding (OUP 2009), aiming to provide a comprehensive and thorough overview of the study of derivational morphology. Written by distinguished scholars, its 41 chapters are devoted to theoretical and definitional matters, formal and semantic issues, interdisciplinary connections, and detailed descriptions of derivational processes in a wide range of language families. It presents the reader with the current state of the art in the study of derivational morphology.

Rochelle Lieber is Professor of Linguistics at the University of New Hampshire. Her interests include morphological theory, especially derivation and compounding, lexical semantics, and the morphology-syntax interface. She is the author of several books including Morphology and Lexical Semantics (CUP, 2004), and Introducing Morphology (CUP, 2010). She is the co-author, with Laurie Bauer and Ingo Plag, of the Oxford Reference Guide to English Morphology (OUP, 2013).
Pavol %Stekauer is Professor of English linguistics at P.J. %Safárik University, Kosice, Slovakia. His research has focused on an onomasiological approach to word-formation, sociolinguistic aspects of word-formation, meaning predictability of complex words, and crosslinguistic research into word-formation. His publications include An Onomasiological Theory of English Word-Formation (John Benjamins, 1998), English Word-Formation. A History of Research (1960-1995). Gunter Narr, 2000), and Meaning Predictability in Word-Formation (John Benjamins, 2005).
Rochelle Lieber and Pavol %Stekauer are co-editors of two handbooks: The Handbook of Word-formation (Springer, 2005) and The Oxford Handbook of Compounding (OUP, 2009).
