Inflectional Morphology: A Theoretical Study Based on Aspects of Latin Verb Conjugation

by Peter Hugoe Matthews

Originally published in 1972, this was the most thorough discussion of morphological theory to appear in recent years, and one of the few to be based directly on an 'inflecting' or 'fusional' language - in this case Latin. The book is addressed to theoretical and descriptive linguists in general and no knowledge of Latin is assumed.
