The first volume with applications and extensions of the model of Construction Morphology to a wide range of languages

Deals with data from various domains of linguistics, thus contributing to a graceful integration of findings from various sub-disciplines of linguistics into a common model of the architecture of language

Provides inspiration for further research on the morphological aspects of language

Offers deeper insight in how to deal with morphology in Construction Grammar approaches to language
