The importance of prefixes in the identification of postverbal nouns Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • In Portuguese, besides suffixed deverbal nouns, there are deverbal nominal products with no derivational suffixes, which we will call ‘postverbal nouns’. One of the problems concerned with postverbal nouns is that there are some difficulties in distinguishing them from nouns that function as base words to verbs constructed with no derivational suffixes.
