Resumo: Based on a medieval corpus, the article analyzes the evolution and the historic behavior of the prefixes a(d)-, re-, en-, des- and es- in certain lexical items, aiming to assess the semantic and cognitive motivations of the derivational change, as well as its direction. A contrast is made between the morpho-semantic variation of these prefixes in medieval Portuguese and in modern European Portuguese (including dialectal varieties), emphasizing questions of productivity, redundancy, recategorization, polysemy, and semantic specialization. We conclude that the motivations for derivational changes, normally semantic and cognitive, are extremely important, and require the inclusion of a diachronic perspective and of diatopic variation in any systematic study on Portuguese derivational morphology.

Establécese unha comparación entre a variación morfosemántica deses prefixos no galego-portugués medieval e no portugués europeo contemporáneo (incluíndo variedades dialectais), incidindo en cuestións de produtividade, redundancia, recategorización, polisemia e especialización semántica. Conclúese que as motivacións para os cambios derivativos, xeralmente semánticas e cognitivas, son extremadamente importantes e requiren a inclusión tanto dunha perspectiva diacrónica como da variación diatópica en calquera estudo sistemático da morfoloxía derivativa do portugués.2015info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://hdl.handle.net/10316/102554http://hdl.handle.net/10316/102554https://doi.org/10.15304/elg.8.2608eng1989-578X1889-2566Carvalho, Maria Joséinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2022-09-30T20:32:43Zoai:estudogeral.uc.pt:10316/102554Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T21:19:31.193830Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
