Abstract
This article reviews the lecture of Jenny Audring, assistant professor at the University of Leiden, on the topic of unproductive morphology. Her lecture focuses on morphological patterns in word formation that are no longer productive in current language usage and on the problems these patterns pose to morphological theory. In answer to these problems Audring presents the framework of Relational Morphology (JACKENDOFF; AUDRING, 2019), a sister theory of Construction Morphology that is based within the Parallel Architecture framework. Using examples of unproductive morphological patterns, Audring illustrates how this framework can be applied and used in the analysis of complex words, and how it can deal with the challenges posed by unproductive morphology.
