Some notes on Relational morphology: a "cousin" of Construction Grammar

In this paper, we intend to present a recent theoretical framework that emerged in the context of Construction Grammar: the Relational Morphology. Developed in the last four years by Ray Jackendoff (USA) and Jenny Audring (Netherlands), the model innovates not only by focusing on morphology, as does Booij's constructional morphology (2010), but also by emphasizing the horizontal relationships between schemes, generalization that the authors call "sister schemes". We have tried to show its advantages in the treatment of morphological issues, such as hapax suffixes and general derivational patterns, although the model also addresses syntactic issues. In the presentation this new theoretical framework, we seek to show the points of convergence and divergence between it and other constructional approaches.
