Evolution of Morphology

By Andrew Carstairs-McCarthy

Examining the evolution of the grammatical structure of words in the contexts of human evolution and the origins of language, this text challenges the conventional views of the relationship between syntax and morphology, the adaptationist view of language evolution, and the notion that language reflects 'laws of form'.
