„This characteristic of the book particularly recommendsit for teaching, as it is often the case that undergraduatestudents are reluctant to engage in argumentation and favorprescriptive contents. This book manages to lure the student intothinking and arguing rather than learning definitions.“ (Anglistik, 2 September 2012)
„The intended audience is undergraduate students in linguisticsbut the text is accessible enough for a person from a generalaudience wanting to understand the basic concepts in morphologicaltheory and practice in linguistics.“ (Linguist, 25 June 2011)
„Aronoff and Fudeman have produced a clear and jargon-freeintroduction to contemporary morphological theory and practice. Thebook succeeds particularly in clarifying the empirical content, organizational principles and analytic techniques that distinguishmorphology from other areas of linguistics.“

PRAISE FOR PREVIOUS EDITION
„Aronoff and Fudeman have provided an extremely pleasant tour ofthe issues in modern morphological theory for beginning students. The rich collection of exercises will be a godsend to instructorsand students alike, and the thread of discussion of a singlelanguage throughout the book is a brilliant stroke that other textsshould emulate.“
Stephen R. Anderson, Yale University
"This unusual book combines a basic start on morphology with anintroduction to Kujamaat Jóola. It is a fine addition toteaching materials on morphology: a book for beginners to use witha teacher, yet one from which any linguist could learn. The authorsintend students to develop 'a lasting taste for morphology'. I think many will.„
Greville Corbett, University of Surrey, Guildford
“Morphology has its own organizing principles, distinct fromthose of syntax, phonology, and the lexicon. Too many morphologytextbooks obscure this fascinating fact, but Aronoff and Fudemanrefreshingly make it the cornerstone of their exposition."
Andrew Carstairs-McCarthy, University of Canterbury
