1. Galician-Portuguese: historical overview

In this talk, Esperança Cardeira will present a diachronic survey of the
formation of the Iberian languages, with emphasis on Galician-Portuguese
romance, describing the historical, social and cultural factors which lead to
its development since the Middle Ages to modern time. A panoramic description
of the main linguistic changes, on the basis of a sample of literary and
non-literary documents will highlight some variables that act as key phenomena
to the elaboration and standardization of Portuguese language.

2. Parasynthetic verbs in Iberian languages

Parasynthesis is a typical kind of romance word formation resource, more
frequently used to derive verbs, but it is also available for adjectives.
Although it is usually described as a simultaneous adjunction of a prefix and
a suffix to a nominal root, the fact is that most parasynthetic verbs make use
of no such suffix. Furthermore, parasynthetic verbs may coexist with
non-parasynthetic equivalents and they may also present alternates that
contrast different prefixes.

In this talk, Alina Villalva will present a synchronic and a diachronic survey
of this kind of morphological structures in Portuguese and will also develop a
comparative analysis with their equivalents in other Iberian languages,
notably Spanish.
