{"product_id":"roots-and-patterns-maya-arad-9781402032431","title":"Roots and Patterns: Hebrew Morpho-Syntax","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe 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. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhile 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maya Arad\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1402032439\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781402032431\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/15\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 286\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.60h x 6.42w x 0.79d","brand":"Maya Arad","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44123415576831,"sku":"9781402032431","price":109.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d5b5be9a-489c-4306-a65e-ce251a14e94d.jpg?v=1687430763","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/roots-and-patterns-maya-arad-9781402032431","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
