#lexicalism

This paper brings the reader the following news: Lexicalism is dead, deceased, demised, no more, passed on… [...] But the people that work on word-sized domains are morphologists, and when morphologists talk, linguists nap. [...] I will scream in agony if I read or hear anyone summarizing this paper as, “Marantz argues grammatical theory would be simpler without a lexicon,” or, “the paper shows that Distributed Morphology, with its Vocabulary and Encyclopedia, is conceptually superior to Lexicalist theories.”
