In-depth investigation of Hebrew verb morphology in light of cutting edge theories of morphology and lexical semantics
<P>An original theory about the semantic content of roots
<P></P>
<P>An account of how roots function in word-formation
<P></P>
<P>A wide empirical basis containing a complete corpus of verb-creating roots in Hebrew</P>
<P>An original theory about the semantic content of roots
<P></P>
<P>An account of how roots function in word-formation
<P></P>
<P>A wide empirical basis containing a complete corpus of verb-creating roots in Hebrew</P>
<P>This book is simultaneously a theoretical study in morphosyntax and an in-depth empirical study of Hebrew. Based on Hebrew data, the book defends the status of the root as a lexical and phonological unit and argues that roots, rather than verbs or nouns, are the primitives of word formation. A central claim made throughout the book is the role of locality in word formation, teasing apart word formation from roots and word formation from existing words syntactically, semantically and phonologically.</P>
<P>The book focuses on Hebrew, a language with rich verb morphology, where both roots and noun- and verb-creating morphology are morphologically transparent. The study of Hebrew verbs is based on a corpus of all Hebrew verb-creating roots, offering, for the first time, a survey of the full array of morpho-syntactic forms seen in the Hebrew verb. </P>
<P>While the focus of this study is on how roots function in word-formation, a central chapter studies the information encoded by the Hebrew root, arguing for a special kind of open-ended value, bounded within the classes of meaning analyzed by lexical semanticists.</P>
<P>The book is of wide interest to students of many branches of linguistics, including morphology, syntax and lexical semantics, as well as of to students Semitic languages. </P>

Chapter 1: Roots: where syntax, morphology and the lexicon meet 1.1 Why roots? The decomposition debate. 1.2 Distributed morphology and the syntax-morphology interface. 1.3 Hebrew and the syntax-morphology interface. 1.4 The argument for the root: structure and scope of the book. Chapter 2: The noun-verb asymmetry in Hebrew: when are patterns obligatory? 2.1 Introduction: roots and features. 2.2 Hebrew roots and patterns: the verbal system. 2.3 A noun-verb asymmetry in Hebrew. 2.4 Accounting for the asymmetry: the obligatoriness of inflection? 2.5 Accounting for the asymmetry: the realization of grammatical features. 2.6 The stuff roots are made of: constraints on Hebrew verb-formation. 2.7 Summary Chapter 3: The contents of the root: Multiple Contextualized Meaning in Hebrew. 3.1 Introduction 3.2 Multiple Contextualized Meaning in Hebrew 3.3 Multiple Contextualized Meaning and the Root Hypothesis.
