Morphology
"Since its original publication in 1974, Morphology has remained the most lucid demonstration of the limitations of morpheme-based analyses and of the indispensability of Word-and-Paradigm (WP) morphology; in its newly updated form, it stands agaiin as the best available introduction to the fundamental issues in morphological theory, suitable for introductory courses at the graduate or advanced undergraduate level...what is truly impressive is how much of the book has not needed to be changed and remains as compelling and pertinent now as it was two decades ago."

What Graeco-Roman Grammar Was About
This book explains how the grammarians of the Graeco-Romance world perceived the nature and structure of the languages they taught. It discusses aspects that have persisted to this day and seem reassuringly familiar, such as 'parts of speech', and aspects that are wholly dissimilar to our present understanding of grammar and language.

Inflectional Morphology
A Theoretical Study Based on Aspects of Latin Verb ConjugationOriginally published in 1972, this was the most thorough discussion of morphological theory to appear in recent years, and one of the few to be based directly on an 'inflecting' or 'fusional' language - in this case Latin. The book is addressed to theoretical and descriptive linguists in general and no knowledge of Latin is assumed.

Generative Grammar and Linguistic Competence
According to Chomsky, to learn a language is to develop a grammar for it - a generative grammar which assigns a definite structure and a definite meaning to each of a definite set of sentences. This forms the speaker's linguistic competence, which represents a distinct faculty of the mind, called the faculty of language. This view has been widely criticised, and Professor Matthews here concludes that Chomsky's notion of competence finds no support within linguistics. This book covers a variety of topics, from morphology to speech acts, from word meaning to the study of language variation, and from blending in syntax to the relation of language and culture. This wide range of subject matter is incisively handled in a style which is both elegant and economical.
