Morphology and
Modularity
Publications in Language Sciences
Publications in Language Sciences is a series of monographs in
theoretical linguistics and its more formal satellite fields of scientific
inquiry. It is intended to provide an opportunity for scholars working
within these areas to report rapidly on research either terminated or in
some definite stage of progress. Ideally, in these publications interest,
inspiration, and openmindedness go hand in hand.

Preface and Acknowledgements
This volume contains 18 contributions to the Morphology & Modularity
Conference, held at the University of Utrecht, 16-18 June 1986. The majority
of the papers were presented during the conference itself, but some are
by invitees who were unable to be present for various reasons. As a whole,
we feel these contributions offer a good perspective on ongoing research
into the nature of current generative morphology, the question of its
autonomy, and its place in the study of generative grammar.
The conference was made possible through financial funds from the
Netherlands Organization for the Advancement of Pure Research (ZWO)
and the Faculty of Letters of the University of Utrecht, which are hereby
gratefully acknowledged.
The editors of this volume would like to thank the (many) participants
of the conference for their enthusiasm, and all contributors to this volume
for their cooperation. Special thanks go to Ivonne Bordelois, Peter
Coopmans, Frank Drijkoningen, Tertius Groenman, Ger De Haan, Ben
Hermans, Harry Van Der Hülst, René Kager, Jeile Kaldeway, Gerda Van
Kampen, Geert Koefoed, Hellen König, Wus Van Lessen Kloeke, Hap
Kolb, Albert Leenders, Anneke Neijt, Jan Odijk, Jan Schroten, Frits
Stuurman, Henk Verkuyl, and Wim Zonneveld for offering extra help
in various forms. Valuable help was also provided by Marijke Verhulst
who - to our deepest regret - died in November 1987.
We dedicate this volume to Henk Schultink, who taught us and many
others what morphology is all about, but not only this: he was, in the
early sixties, one of the first in this country to recognize the role the study
of generative grammar could play in the advancement of linguistics. We
are convinced this volume would not have existed without him. The
presentation of the articles is in alphabetical order, with the exception
of the first for precisely these reasons.
Everaert's and Trommelen's editorial activities for this volume were made
possible by financial support from the Niels Stensen Foundation and a
fellowship of the Royal Academy of Sciences (KNAW), respectively.
