Aims and scope

Aim

The aim of Morphology is to publish high quality articles that contribute to further morphological theory and its articulation with linguistic theory in general, or present new and unexplored data relevant to morphological theory. Relevant empirical evidence consists of in-depth analyses of specific languages or comparative, cross-linguistic studies, employing diverse empirical methods, including qualitative analysis of grammatical descriptions, based on speaker intuitions or naturalistic data, as well as quantitative corpus studies, experiments, statistical analysis of morphological datasets, and computational modeling.

Scope

Morphology publishes articles on morphology proper, as well as articles on the interaction of morphology with phonology, syntax, and semantics, the acquisition and processing of morphological information, the nature of the mental lexicon, and morphological variation and change. Its main focus is on theoretical models of morphological knowledge, morphological typology, the position of morphology in the architecture of the human language faculty, and the evolution and change of morphology. In addition, the journal deals with the acquisition of morphological knowledge and its role in language processing. Articles on computational morphology and neurolinguistic approaches to morphology are also welcome inasmuch as they are of relevance to contemporary morphological theory.

The first volume of Morphology appeared as Volume 16 (2006). Previous volumes were published under the title Yearbook of Morphology.
