Summary:

The volume demonstrates that over the last five years, with the interaction between Montreal and Hawaii approaches to wholeword morphology, similarities and differences have been identified and clarified, and a certain amount of terminological standardization and convergence has taken place. This volume broadens and accelerates the process, and paves the way for further clarifications and convergence.
