Morpho-Lexical Alternation in Noun Formation

Morpho-Lexical Alternation in Noun Formation proposes a novel analysis of the structure of complex nouns in English, placing the focus on noun pairs that share single roots but end in different suffixes. To achieve this mission, the book combines two aspects of language: derivation and usage.
