Spencer, Andrew 2021 Chapter 13. Morphomes all the way down!All Things Morphology: Its independence and its interfaces, Moradi, Sedigheh, Marcia Haag, Janie Rees-Miller and Andrija Petrovic (eds.), pp. 239–254 | Chapter
Taking Stump’s (2016) PFM2 C(ontent)/F(orm)/R(ealized) paradigm distinction I argue that the F/R-paradigm features are conceptually different from C-paradigm features. C-paradigm features interface with syntax/semantics, hence are ‘interpretable’. F-paradigm features, by contrast, induce purely… read more
Spencer, Andrew 2016 How are words related?Morphological Metatheory, Siddiqi, Daniel and Heidi Harley (eds.), pp. 1–26 | Article
I argue in favour of the notions ‘word (form)’, ‘lexeme’, ‘paradigm’ against Distributed Morphology claims that lexical roots are indexed only by their form. That approach entails there can be no suppletion in lexical items. In addition to the obvious counterexamples I point out more subtle cases… read more
Spencer, Andrew 2008 Does Hungarian have a case system?Case and Grammatical Relations: Studies in honor of Bernard Comrie, Corbett, Greville G. and Michael Noonan (eds.), pp. 35–56 | Article
I argue that case markers in Hungarian are best thought of as ‘fused postpositions’. There is no need to set up a separate syntactic or morphological [Case] attribute as such. Rather, we just need a morphological principle stating that nominals (including pronouns) have a special form, the… read more
Spencer, Andrew 2006 Syntactic vs. morphological case: Implications for morphosyntaxCase, Valency and Transitivity, Kulikov, Leonid, Andrej L. Malchukov and Peter de Swart (eds.), pp. 3–21 | Article
Spencer, Andrew 2000 Agreement morphology in ChukotkanMorphological Analysis in Comparison, Dressler, Wolfgang U., Oskar E. Pfeiffer, Markus A. Pöchtrager and John R. Rennison (eds.), pp. 191 ff. | Article
Spencer, Andrew 2000 Verbal clitics in Bulgarian: A Paradigm Function approachClitics in Phonology, Morphology and Syntax, Gerlach, Birgit and Janet Grijzenhout (eds.), pp. 355–386 | Article
I provide an analysis of the Bulgarian clitic cluster within the framework of Greg Stump’s theory of Paradigm Function Morphology. I treat the basic clitic cluster as essentially a string of affixes generated by paradigm functions. In this way I formalize the notion of ‘phrasal affix’. The… read more
