Marchand published works on linguistic phenomena occurring in languages such as
English,
French,
Turkish and
Italian,[2] but became famous in his discipline for his theories on
word-formation in the English language. Linguists following his approach are called Marchandeans.[3]
Decades after the publication in 1969 of the second (and much more widely cited) edition of Marchand's The Categories and Types of Present-Day English Word-Formation, it was still being cited approvingly in the morphology literature: a "meticulous volume",[4] a "milestone monograph",[5] a "monumental volume . . . likely to continue to be widely used as a reference book".[6]
