GONCALVES, Carlos Alexandre e ANDRADE, Katia Emmerick. THE STATUS OF MORPHOLOGICAL ELEMENTS AND THE CONTINUUM COMPOUNDING-DERIVATION IN BRAZILIAN PORTUGUESE. Lingüística [online]. 2012, vol.28, n.1, pp.119-145. ISSN 2079-312X.
In this paper, we discuss synchronously the status of the following morphological elements, often used in new word formations in Brazilian Portuguese: affixoids (bio-combustível, eco-sustentabilidade), splinters (choco-tone; sogra-drasta) and borrowed constituents (cyber-café; e-professor). In our description, we observe the extent to which these constituents behave as radicals and in what ways are equivalent to affixes. We intend, thereby, ratify the continuum proposed by Baker (2000) and Ralli (2007), at same time we show that other morphological units, as well as radicals and affixes, should be part of this scale.
