Features are standard currency in linguistics; they allow generalizations in syntax, and equally in morphology. Yet while features are heavily used, they are often taken for granted. It is therefore worth considering: the use of features (their logic, their place in different components), the substantive semantics of features, and the inventory of features.

Keywords:   Agreement Hierarchy, binary features, contextual features, inherent features, inventory of the features, morphosemantic features, morphosyntactic features, Set‐theoretical School, syncretism, typing, unification
