Abstract

espanolEl objetivo de este articulo es desarrollar un marco de funciones lexicas y categorias semanticas que permita explicar el cambio de significado causado por los procesos de prefijacion y sufijacion que forman nombres y adjetivos en ingles antiguo1 . Las funciones lexicas estan inspiradas en teorias de orientacion estructural-funcionalista. Asi, mientras que la morfologia paradigmatica proporciona la base estructuralista, la Gramatica Funcional (Dik, 1997a [1989], 1997b), la Gramatica Funcional del Discurso (Hengeveld y Mackenzie, 2008) y la Gramatica del Papel y la Referencia (Van Valin y LaPolla, 1997; Van Valin, 2005) aportan los fundamentos funcionalistas de esta propuesta de funciones lexicas. El repertorio de funciones lexicas se clasifica de acuerdo con una jerarquia de categorias semanticas y se aplica al analisis de la formacion de nombres y adjetivos en ingles antiguo por afijacion2 . Las conclusiones, en el plano teorico, insisten en la compatibilidad de los modelos funcionalistas, que permiten hacer una propuesta completa y coherente; y, en el plano descriptivo, en la compatibilidad de las categorias semanticas en los procesos derivativos. EnglishThe aim of this article is to develop a frame of lexical functions and semantic categories that gives account of the change of meaning caused by the processes of prefixation and suffixation in Old English that produce nouns and adjectives. Lexical functions are inspired by structural-functional theories. Paradigmatic morphology provides the structural basis, whereas Functional Grammar (Dik, 1997a [1989], 1997b), Functional Discourse Grammar (Hengeveld & Mackenzie, 2008) and Role and Reference Grammar (Van Valin & LaPolla, 1997; Van Valin, 2005) contribute the functional foundations of this proposal based on lexical functions. The inventory of lexical functions is classified according to a hierarchy of semantic categories and is applied to the analysis of the formation of Old English nouns and adjectives through affixation. The conclusions, on the theoretical side, insist on the compatibility of functional models that allow to create a whole and coherent proposal; on the descriptive side, they focus on the compatibility of semantic categories in the derivative processes.
