Allomorphy in Inflexion (Routledge Revivals) - Carstairs-McCarthy, Andrew (University of Canterbury, UK)

First published in 1987, this book broke new ground in research on inflectional morphology as before then, it was widely seen as merely the detritus of obsolete phonological processes. Drawing on evidence from a wide variety of languages, the author here shows that the subject deserves more respect and that the book has important implications beyond language, extending into human cognition.
