The three books (items 1, 2, and 3) are foundation stones of modern linguistic morphology. The first has been cited almost 6000 times, the second over 2500 times, and both continue to be cited. The third has sparked an interest in morphology among many. One young colleague recently declared that it had changed his life. \\
\\
The articles on young sign languages (items 4, 5, and 7) are among the most influential in the new area of research that focuses on emerging autochthonous sign languages and have been cited almost 2000 times. Prof. Aronoff is a founding member of an international group that published the first detailed report on such a language (item 4) almost two decades ago in a top-ranked general scientific journal (PNAS). This is his most cited article. The group continues to publish regularly on this language (Al-Sayyid Bedouin Sign Language), changing our understanding of how languages emerge.\\
\\
The articles on morphological competition (items 6 and 9) are representative of a strand of the candidate’s research that grounds the study of morphological competition (an important area for the last half-century) in principles drawn from the mathematical foundations of the theory of evolution (specifically Gause’s principle of competitive exclusion).\\
\\
The articles on English spelling (items 8 and 10), all the result of collaboration with a colleague in Germany, use corpus-based and experimental psycholinguistic methods to demonstrate the importance of morphology in English orthography. They represent a recent resurgence of the candidate’s long-standing interest in writing systems and have implications for the teaching of reading\\ \\[{ALLOW view All}][{ALLOW edit maronoff}][{ALLOW upload maronoff}][{ALLOW comment All}]
