The book presents a groundbreaking perspective on the human language faculty, advocating for a modular approach to understanding word formation. Through an extensive study, the authors, Peter Ackema and Ad Neeleman, demonstrate how complex words are created by a specialized rule system that engages with both syntax and phonology. Their thorough analysis sheds light on various interactions within grammar, uncovering new insights and observations that challenge conventional views on language structure.
