This book is simultaneously a theoretical study in morphosyntax and an indepth empirical study of Hebrew. Based on Hebrew data, the book defends the status of the root as a lexical and phonological unit and argues that roots, rather than verbs or nouns, are the primitives of word formation. A central claim made throughout the book is the role of locality in word formation, teasing apart word formation from roots and word formation from existing words syntactically, semantically and phonologically.The book focuses on Hebrew, a language with rich verb morphology, where both roots and noun and verbcreating morphology are morphologically transparent. The study of Hebrew verbs is based on a corpus of all Hebrew verbcreating roots, offering, for the first time, a survey of the full array of morphosyntactic forms seen in the Hebrew verb.While the focus of this study is on how roots function in wordformation, a central chapter studies the information encoded by the Hebrew root, arguing for a special kind of openended value, bounded within the classes of meaning analyzed by lexical semanticists.
