This book makes an important contribution to the understanding of affix ordering, addressing this topic from different theoretical perspectives, both generative and non-generative, and greatly enriching the set of languages to receive a detailed study of affix ordering. These studies raise challenges to some commonly held perspectives on the factors involved in affix ordering cross-linguistically.
