The aim of this chapter is to introduce and define the class of phenomena that will be analysed in this book. We will adopt the perspective of morphological theory, focussing on two major questions: • What can the research discipline of Prosodic Morphology (McCarthy & Prince 1986, 1993a et seq.) contribute to a definition of truncatory patterns in English? • What is the status of truncated words in the English word formation system?
