Isi artikel

This article aims at presenting an experimental study carried out from an onomasiological perspective and concerning possible words in European Portuguese constituted by an existing base form and a specific derivational affix. In this experiment, we emphasised 3rd-graders’ cognitive capacities in the choice of the most appropriate possible word associated with a particular concept. We also tested to what extent both productivity and morphological awareness influenced the choice of those words by the same students.
