Matthew Baerman is a senior research fellow in the Surrey Morphology Group at the University of Surrey. His research focuses on the typology, diachrony, and formal analysis of inflectional systems, with a particular concentration on phenomena whose interpretation is problematic or controversial. His work has appeared in such journals as Language, Journal of Linguistics, Morphology, Lingua, Russian Linguistics and Natural Language and Linguistic Theory. He is co-author of The Syntax-Morphology Interface: a Study of Syncretism (CUP, 2005) and co-editor of Understanding and Measuring Morphological Complexity (OUP, 2014).

• PART I: BUILDING BLOCKS; PART II: PARADIGMS AND THEIR VARIANTS; PART III: CHANGE; PART IV: COMPUTATION; PART V: PSYCHOLINGUISTICS; PART VI: SKETCHES OF INDIVIDUAL SYSTEMS

The handbook ends with a sixty-page bibliography, which is a treasure chest for anybody in-terested in inflectional morphology. There are also three indexes for authors, languages, and sub-jects that make the handbook useful as a reference tool ... the handbook under review is an extremely valuable contribution to morphology -- a resource that deserves to be widely used for many years to come.
