Brings together articles by authors at the forefront of current morphology research.
Covers traditional issues as well as specific questions that have more recently become the focus of attention.
Interest in morphology has undergone rapid growth over the past two decades and the area is now seen as crucially important, both in relation to other aspects of grammar and in relation to other disciplines.

"I'm enormously impressed by the scope and depth of The Handbookof Morphology. The coverage is broadly inclusive, withoutsacrificing depth in the discussion of individual issues. The rangeof topics covered shows us just how far the study of words, theirforms and their structures has penetrated into the core oflinguistics since the 1960s, when many thought there was nodistinct content to morphology, and everything interesting waseither syntax or phonology." Stephen R. Anderson, YaleUniversity
"Its range is outstanding. Every chapterprovides new insights and challenges. I think that, like itscompanion volume, The Handbook of Phonological Theory, it isdestined to become a standard reference in its field." LaurieBauer, Victoria University of Wellington
"The Handbook of Morphology, edited by two outstandingmorphologists, will be much appreciated by the linguistic communityat large. It will serve as a guide for graduate students inlinguistics, and for all those researchers who need a reliablesurvey of current issues and insights in morphology ... Spencer andZwicky should be thanked for having created such a fine researchtool for Linguistics." Geert Booij, Vrije UniversiteitAmsterdam
"This impressive volume is the first handbook of morphology.It's pioneering status is confirmed by an unprecedented range oftopics, not to be found in any existing monograph in the domain ofmorphology ... I do not know any other book which offers such easyaccess to all the basics of modern morphology and to such a widevariety of topics." W.U. Dressler, University ofVienna
"Strongly theoretic, the handbook is none the less pleasinglyrich in carefully explored data, and fits in well with the othervolumes in the series of Blackwell Handbooks in Linguistics"Forum for Modern Language Skills, Vol 39, 2003
