Roots and Patterns

Roots: Where Syntax, Morphology, and the Lexicon Meet -- The Noun-Verb Asymmetry in Hebrew: When Are Patterns Obligatory? -- The Contents of the Root: Multiple Contextualized Meaning in Hebrew -- The Morphological Consequences of MCM: An Intermediate Summary -- Roots Across Patterns in Hebrew -- A Theory of Hebrew Verbal Morpho-Syntax -- Roots in Word-Formation: The Root Hypothesis Revisited.This book is simultaneously a theoretical study in morphosyntax and an in-depth empirical study of Hebrew. Based on Hebrew data, the book defends the status of the root as a lexical and phonological unit and argues that roots, rather than verbs or nouns, are the primitives of word formation. A central claim made throughout the book is the role of locality in word formation, teasing apart word formation from roots and word formation from existing words syntactically, semantically and phonologically. The book focuses on Hebrew, a language with rich verb morphology, where both roots and noun- and verb-creating morphology are morphologically transparent. The study of Hebrew verbs is based on a corpus of all Hebrew verb-creating roots, offering, for the first time, a survey of the full array of morpho-syntactic forms seen in the Hebrew verb. While the focus of this study is on how roots function in word-formation, a central chapter studies the information encoded by the Hebrew root, arguing for a special kind of open-ended value, bounded within the classes of meaning analyzed by lexical semanticists. The book is of wide interest to students of many branches of linguistics, including morphology, syntax and lexical semantics, as well as of to students Semitic languages.
