This two-level analysis accounts for the heretofore morphosyntactically unmotivated patterns of wordĬlass markers with respect to each diminutive suffix (i.e., -ito/a vs. Projection (DimP), while the allomorph -ito/a realizes an adjunction to the nominalizing projection nP. Whereby the diminutive allomorph -cito/a realizes a diminutive node on a separate diminutivizing Specific evidence for the postsyntactic insertion of word class on multiple projections (namely nPsĪnd evaluative projections) arises from the novel two-level analysis proposed for -(c)ito/a diminutives That the postsyntactic of word class marker targets multiple projections, not just nPs (pace, Kramer,Ģ015). It presents a novel word class inventory that captures a larger percentage of the data and posits This dissertation fills in the gaps left by these partial analyses for nominals in Notable, but preliminary, analyses of Spanish gender and word class within this framework: Harris (1999)Īnd Kramer (2015). ![]() Since the inception of Distributed Morphology (Halle & Marantz, 1993), there have been two Thesis Advisors: Héctor Campos, Ph.D., Ruth Kramer, Ph.D. THE MORPHOSYNTAX OF GENDER AND WORD CLASS IN SPANISH: EVIDENCE FROM -(C)ITO/A DIMINUTIVES ![]()
