The aim of the volume is to contribute towards a better understanding of inflectional morphology, as well as to provide a platform for researchers to discuss their results in the light of the particular framework they have chosen to work in. The first paper provides an overview of the main controversies within the area of inflection. Other papers deal with general aspects such as the difference between derivation and inflection, irregular verb inflection, animacy, and clitics. These are followed by studies on functional categories, the acquisition of inflection, a formal implementation of Russian verb inflection, and finally articles that deal specifically with aspects of German inflection.
