“This characteristic of the book particularly recommends it for teaching, as it is often the case that undergraduate students are reluctant to engage in argumentation and favor prescriptive contents. This book manages to lure the student into thinking and arguing rather than learning definitions.” (Anglistik, 2 September 2012)
"The intended audience is undergraduate students in linguistics but the text is accessible enough for a person from a general audience wanting to understand the basic concepts in morphological theory and practice in linguistics." (Linguist, 25 June 2011)
“Aronoff and Fudeman have produced a clear and jargon-free
introduction to contemporary morphological theory and practice. The
book succeeds particularly in clarifying the empirical content,
organizational principles and analytic techniques that distinguish
morphology from other areas of linguistics.”

PRAISE FOR PREVIOUS EDITION
"Aronoff and Fudeman have provided an extremely pleasant tour of
the issues in modern morphological theory for beginning students.
The rich collection of exercises will be a godsend to instructors
and students alike, and the thread of discussion of a single
language throughout the book is a brilliant stroke that other texts
should emulate."
Stephen R. Anderson, Yale University
"This unusual book combines a basic start on morphology with an
introduction to Kujamaat Jóola. It is a fine addition to
teaching materials on morphology: a book for beginners to use with
a teacher, yet one from which any linguist could learn. The authors
intend students to develop ‘a lasting taste for morphology'.
I think many will."
Greville Corbett, University of Surrey, Guildford
"Morphology has its own organizing principles, distinct from
those of syntax, phonology, and the lexicon. Too many morphology
textbooks obscure this fascinating fact, but Aronoff and Fudeman
refreshingly make it the cornerstone of their exposition."
Andrew Carstairs-McCarthy, University of Canterbury
