    This book considers the evolution of the grammatical structure of words in the contexts of human evolution and the origins of language. The author challenges the conventional views of the relationship between syntax and morphology, the adaptationist view of language evolution, and the notion that language in some way reflects 'laws of form'. Contents -- Preface and acknowledgements -- 1 Design in language and design in biology -- 1.1 A difficulty faced by human linguists -- 1.2 How to overcome the difficulty: The power of abductive reasoning -- 1.3 Narrowing the focus: Why does morphology exist? -- 1.4 Design in biology: What it does and does not mean -- 1.4.1 'Design' does not mean 'intelligent design' -- 1.4.2 'Good design' is not tautologous -- 1.4.3 Examples of bad design in vertebrates -- 1.5 Back to language: Williams and Chomsky -- 1.6 Advice to readers -- 2 Why there is morphology: Traditional accounts -- 2.1 A puzzle as viewed from Mars -- 2.2 The two systems within grammar: Are they genuinely distinct? -- 2.3 Morphology as syntax below the word level -- 2.3.1 Lieber and the sing-sang question -- 2.3.2 Lieber and the pig-hunter question -- 2.4 Morphology as a driver for syntactic displacement -- 2.5 Morphology as the grammar of bound items -- 2.6 Morphology as lexical structure -- 2.7 Morphology as the detritus of linguistic change -- 2.7.1 Linguistic change and the pig-hunter question -- 2.7.2 Linguistic change and the sing-sang question -- 2.8 The puzzle remains -- 3 A cognitive-articulatory dilemma -- 3.1 Setting the scene: Speech with vocabulary but no grammar -- 3.2 Synonymy avoidance: A broader-than-human trait -- 3.2.1 The elusiveness of exact synonymy in human language -- 3.2.2 Synonymy avoidance among animals -- 3.3 A dilemma: The development of 'synonyms' due to assimilation -- 3.3.1 The speed of speech production in protolanguage -- 3.3.2 Assimilatory effects of fluent speech -- 3.3.3 Cliché patterns and the loss of phonological conditioning -- 3.4 Isolated synonymies versus systematic synonymy patterns -- 3.4.1 Two obvious ways of resolving synonymy dilemmas -- 3.4.2 Systematic synonymy patterns and how they might evolve -- 3.5 The way ahead.
