Matthew Baerman is a senior research fellow in the Surrey
Morphology Group at the University of Surrey. His research focuses
on the typology, diachrony, and formal analysis of inflectional
systems, with a particular concentration on phenomena whose
interpretation is problematic or controversial. His work has
appeared in such journals as Language, Journal of Linguistics,
Morphology, Lingua, Russian Linguistics and Natural Language
and
Linguistic Theory. He is co-author of The Syntax-Morphology
Interface: a Study of Syncretism (CUP, 2005) and co-editor of
Understanding and Measuring Morphological Complexity (OUP, 2014).
The handbook ends with a sixty-page bibliography, which is a
treasure chest for anybody in-terested in inflectional morphology.
There are also three indexes for authors, languages, and sub-jects
that make the handbook useful as a reference tool ... the handbook
under review is an extremely valuable contribution to morphology --
a resource that deserves to be widely used for many years to
come.
