Gellius often discusses questions of etymology, sometimes following
other writers' work, sometimes apparently offering suggestions of
his own. This chapter employs source-criticism to isolate etymologies
that seem to be his own (while acknowledging the possibility that they
may not be), compares them with the findings of modern linguistics,
and relates them to the etymological principles current amongst
ancient grammarians, in particular borrowing from Greek, suffixation,
composition out of two words, or use by antiphrasis to mean the opposite
of the expected sense. He makes intelligent and informed use of these
principles, proving himself an expert in the ars grammatica. Most of
his derivations by suffixation or composition are correct, as are most
derivations from Greek if the category is extended to include the
common Indo-European descent of which antiquity had no notion.

This introductory chapter discusses aspectual morphology in Russian.
Aspectual differences become transparent due to morphological processes such as prefixation and suffixation. However, there is no uniform morphological aspectual marker. Aspectual morphology in Russian is complex, though there are some similarities in the Page 1 of 2
morphological design of perfective and imperfective forms respectively.
No generalization can be formed on the basis of morphology only, because there are morphologically complex imperative verbs. It then talks about the history of the Russian tense system.
Morphological complexity outside of universal grammar
Morphological complexity outside of universal grammar (1998) * Jirka Hana and Peter W. Culicover
in Explaining Syntax: Representations, Structures, and Computation
Published in print: 2013 Published Online: Publisher: Oxford University Press January 2014 DOI: 10.1093/ ISBN: 9780199660230 eISBN: 9780191748240 acprof:oso/9780199660230.003.0013 Item type: chapter
This chapter focuses on morphosyntax, in particular the use of linear
order in inflected words to express correspondences between form and meaning. It explores the possibility that different orderings among the root and inflection in an inflected form may yield differences in the complexity of the form-meaning correspondence. It argues that the identification of inflectional morphology expressed as suffixation is computationally less complex than prefixation, which in turn is computationally less complex than infixation. These preferences account for the greater frequency of suffixation over prefixation, and the greater frequency of prefixation over infixation.
Degrees of lexicalization in Ancient Greek deverbal nouns

Published in print: 2013 Published Online: May Publisher: Edinburgh University Press 2014 DOI: 10.3366/ ISBN: 9780748689606 eISBN: 9780748695232 edinburgh/9780748689606.003.0011 Item type: chapter
Based on the Homeric corpus this paper analyses the process of
lexicalization in Ancient Greek deverbal nouns. The analysis shows that the meaning of deverbal nouns can be lexicalized to different degrees according to the same processes as those governing polysemy, i.e. metaphor and metonymy. Deverbal nouns will be placed on a double continuum, viz. from transparent to lexicalized meaning and from verbal to nominal features. Indeed the higher deverbal nouns are in the lexicalization scale the more they lose verbal features.
