Book review: Rochelle Lieber: Morphology and Lexical Semantics. Cambridge Studies in Linguistics ; Cambridge University Press, 2004, 196 pages. ISBN:0 521 83171 7

The book under review is one of the few studies in which the semantics of word formation has received a systematic book-length treatment. The book is designed to set the foundations for an encompassing, broadly cross-categorial theory of lexical semantics in word formation. While the details of Lieber's analyses may not always seem convincing, the book is still laudable for its commitment to presenting "a framework in which many traditional questions can fruitfully be raised, discussed and answered".
