| description | This paper addresses word formation with adjectives from Tupi origin, açu and mirim, in
Amazonian Portuguese. The corpus for the analysis was constituted by the reading of books,
and dictionaries, which include the formations by composition with these adjectives. For
the purposes of the research, our theoretical foundation is based on the Generative
Morphology model (ARONOFF, 1976; BASÍLIO, 2009; ROCHA, 2008; SPENCER, 1991)
in order to make it possible to construct rules applicable to the bases that these adjectives
select. The results show the existence of formations by composition mainly and the
application of Structural Analysis Rules (SARs) and Word Formation Rules (WFRs). In
addition, some constructions do not have entries in dictionaries and others do not characterize
the formation process by composition. We concluded that there is an extensive list of words
formed with -açu and mirim incorporated in Brazilian Portuguese, showing that they are very
productive in the formation of compound words and sometimes in derivative word formation. |
