Productivity and Reuse in Language: A Theory of Linguistic Computation and St…
"Language allows us to express and comprehend an unbounded number of thoughts. This fundamental and much-celebrated property is made possible by a division of labor between a large inventory of stored items (e.g., affixes, words, idioms) and a computational system that productively combines these stored units on the fly to create a potentially unlimited array of new expressions. A language lear…

Asymmetry in morphology
Di Sciullo argues that the asymmetric property of morphological relations is part of the language facility. She proposes a theory of grammar, Asymmetry Theory, according to which generic operations have specific instantiations in parallel deviations of the computational space.OCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record.

Universals in comparative morphology :suppletion, superlatives, and the struc…
An argument for, and account of linguistic universals in the morphology of comparison, combining empirical breadth and theoretical rigor. This groundbreaking study of the morphology of comparison yields a surprising result: that even in suppletion (the wholesale replacement of one stem by a phonologically unrelated stem, as in good-better-best) there emerge strikingly robust patterns, virtually…

Russian case morphology and the syntactic categories
In this work, David Pesetsky argues that the peculiarities of Russian nominal phrases provide significant clues concerning the syntactic side of morphological case. Pesetsky argues against the traditional view that case categories such as nominative or genitive have a special status in the grammar of human languages.OCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record.
