The inflection-derivation divide in Māori and its implications

Investigates inflection and derivation with regard to the morphology of New Zealand Māori. Informs that, although these categories do not fit well with what is known about Mäori, an inflection-derivation divide in the language can be proposed. Acknowledges that such a division has wider typological implications which need to be considered, particularly the debate on defining heads by their position in the word.
