ACTA LINGUISTICA VOL. 40 (AN INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF LINGUISTIC, 1990-1991)
1990-1991/ 1-2. sz. - KIEFER, F.: Preface
PREFACE The present volume contains a selection of the papers which were presented at the 4th International Meeting on Morphology, held in Veszprém (Hungary), April 29 through May 1, 1990, and organized by the Research Institute for Linguistics of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. The main topic of the conference was the morphology-syntax interface. In particular, the following questions were addressed: (i) Are syntax and word formation governed by similar rules or principles? (ii) Are there syntactically relevant phenomena between inflection and word formation? (iii) What is the effect of morphology on the syntactic valency of words (morphology and argument structure, inheritance versus creation, etc.)? These questions are also the main concern of the papers of the present volume. Ferenc Kiefer
