| Summary |
Syncretism - where a single form serves two or more morphosyntactic functions - is a persistent problem at the syntax-morphology interface. This poineering book provides the first full-length study of inflectional syncretism, examining its occurence across a wide range of languages. It will be of key interest to syntacticians and morphologists alike. |
