Infinitive endings, conjugation classes, nominal derivational suffixes, and vocalic gamuts in Romance

Infinitive endings, conjugation classes, nominal derivational suffixes, and vocalic gamuts in... Abstract 1. Unlike other groups of linguists, the Romanists-being heirs, it would seem, to a deeply rooted scholastic tradition-have seldom if ever ceased to view the infinitive as the most characteristic and representative form of a verbal paradigm. Whereas a Hebraist might list a verb in his dictionary by its bare skeleton (i.e., its three root consonants) and a Latinist might have recourse, for the same purpose, to the ‘principal parts’, starting with the 1st sg. pres. ind., the Romanist, resembling in this respect the Germanist and the Slavist, will use the infinitive in his entry. Also, in compiling a grammar of the given language, he will be tempted to establish the major conjugation classes on the basis of the varying infinitive endings, presumably parting company, on this occasion, with most students of other modern languages. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Acta Linguistica Hafniensia: International Taylor & Francis
