Summary:
Irregularity is a philological concept which is not adequately defined. The present volume aims to improve the understanding of irregularity within the domain of morphology, relating to inflectional, derivation, and compounding. Studies aim to discover the potential regularity behind irregularities, the fact or hypothesis that regular (sound) change produces irregularity (Sturtevant's Paradox), the nature of paradigms (esp. suppletion and overabundance), and the interplay of irregular morphology with syntax and pragmatics. Perspectives are synchronic and diachronic. A few studies approach irregularity from the psycholinguistic point of view (issues of memory and acquisition). Languages studied include Latin and its daughter languages French, Catalan and Italian, but also English, German, Greek, Russian, Turkish, Thompson Salish, and the Iroquoian languages. Theories discussed include Canonical Typology, Distributed Morphology, Whole Word Morphology, Minimalism, and the Procedural/Declarative Model.
Irregularität als sprachwissenschaftliches Konzept ist bisher nur unzureichend erforscht. Die Aufsätze dieses Sammelbandes widmen sich der Irregularität in der Flexions-, Derivations- und Kompositionsmorphologie und leisten damit einen Beitrag zum besseren Verständnis von Irregularität. Die Beiträge zielen darauf ab herauszufinden, wo Regelhaftigkeit in der Irregularität liegt, wie regelhafter Lautwandel Irregularität erzeugt, wie Paradigmen funktionieren (speziell in Bezug auf Suppletivismus und "Overabundance") und wie die irreguläre Morphologie mit Syntax und Pragmatik zusammenspielt. Irregularität wird sowohl aus diachroner als auch aus synchroner Sicht beleuchtet. Einige Studien wählen eine psycholinguistische Herangehensweise. Untersuchungssprachen reichen von Latein und seinen Tochtersprachen Französisch, Katalanisch und Italienisch über Englisch, Deutsch, Griechisch, Russisch und Türkisch bis hin zu Thompson Salish und einigen irokesischen Sprachen. Die im Sammelband diskutierten Theorien reichen von der kanonischen Typologie über die Distributed Morphology, die Whole Word Morphology und die Minimalistische Morphologie bis hin zu prozeduralen und deklarativen Modellen.
