Corpus Based Lexical Semantic Analysis of Minimal Pairs of Deverbal Adjectives with the Spanish '-dor/-nte' Suffixes

13 pagesPublished: November 28, 2016

Abstract

This paper shows the semantic differences and similarities between Spanish active deverbal adjectives with the -dor and -nte suffixes. Minimal pairs of derivatives with the suffixes will be quantitatively analyzed, as the patterns of modification are the center of the interest. This study concludes that the derivatives’ modification patterns are parallel with the denotation patterns of nominal derivatives with the same suffixes.

Keyphrases: deverbal adjective, Sketch Engine, Spanish Suffixes
