Particular emphasis is devoted to the way in which functional morphemes receive their phonological form post-syntactically, through the operation of Vocabulary Insertion. In addition to looking closely at syncretism, the primary motivation for Vocabulary Insertion, the book examines allomorphy, blocking, and other key topics in the theory of the morpheme UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9781501502569 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781501502569 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781501502569/original ER -
