Abstract

In his article “The Origin of Suffixes in Romance”, which integrates the third volume of Word-Formation: an International Handbook of the Languages of Europe, David Pharies builds an accurate typology of the origins of the suffixes in Romance. In this paper, I defend some of the selected positions taken by the Author as to propose, by means of a critical bias, a possible interpretation regarding some of the topics approached by Pharies. My line of thought stands by the truly central axis, according which the binomy metaphor/metonymy might be the motor for the constitution of linguistic phenomena, mainly the morphological-lexical kind.
