Jerome Packard's book provides a comprehensive discussion of the linguistic and cognitive nature of Chinese words. It shows that Chinese, far from being 'morphologically impoverished', has a different morphological system because it selects different 'settings' on parameters shared by all languages. The analysis of Chinese word formation therefore enhances our understanding of word universals. Packard describes the intimate relationship between words and their components, including how the identities of Chinese morphemes are word-driven, and offers new insights into the evolution of morphemes based on Chinese data. Models are offered for how Chinese words are stored in the mental lexicon and processed in natural speech, showing that much of what native speakers know about words occurs innately in the form of a hard-wired, specifically linguistic 'program' in the brain. 606 $aChinese language$xMorphology 615 0$aChinese language$xMorphology. 676 $a495.1/5 700 $aPackard$b Jerome Lee$f1951-$01843253 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910962848403321 996 $aThe morphology of Chinese$94424222 997 $aUNINA
