Oxford University Press - The Texture of the Lexicon Book

Explore a major reconceptualization of linguistic theory in The Texture of the Lexicon: Relational Morphology and the Parallel Architecture. Written by Ray Jackendoff and Jenny Audring, this volume presents the Relational Morphology approach to language study. This work builds upon the Parallel Architecture framework established in Jackendoff's previous foundational texts, including Foundations of Language, Simpler Syntax, and Meaning and the Lexicon. This book integrates morphology directly into the overall architecture of language. It provides a way for morphology to interact with phonology, syntax, semantics, and the lexicon. By situating morphology within the language faculty, the authors offer a new perspective on how linguistic components function together. This is an essential resource for those studying cognitive psychology and the complex structures of human language.
