The Grammar of Words
This is an introduction to the grammar of words. Geert Booij introduces
the basic methods of morphological analysis and shows how these can be
used to reveal how words are formed, compounded, and inflected in
different languages. He then describes the relationship of morphology
to syntax, phonology, and semantics, and shows how the main aspects of
grammar interact to make languages work. He ends by examining the
universal characteristics of morphology. He discusses the ways in
which
these reflect the organization of the mind's language faculty and
considers whether they throw light on the way languages change and are
learned.

Language in Mind The idea that the language we speak influences the way we think has evoked perennial fascination and intense controversy. According to the strong version of this hypothesis, called the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis after the American linguists who propounded it, languages vary in their semantic partitioning of the world, and the structure of one's language influences how one understands the world. Thus speakers of different languages perceive the world differently.
Language Classification by Numbers This book considers how languages have traditionally been divided into families, and asks how they should classified in the future. It describes and applies computer programs from biology and evolutionary genetics to data about languages and shows how the power of the computer can be harnessed to throw light on long-standing problems in historical linguistics.
