The existence of a massless Goldstone boson coupling to neutrinos in theories with spontaneous violation of a global B-L symmetry may be consequential in precision measurements of the parameters in muon decay. We calculate the decay parameters for ..mu -->..eMM, where the Majoron M is the Goldstone, boson, and discuss limits on the Majoron-neutrino coupling.
