This book analyses three phenomena of Romance Morphology. The first is event nominalization in
modern European Spanish and Portuguese and the role of blocking concerning the suffix rivalry
of {-miento -mento} and {-ción -ção}. The second are Romance conjugation classes in modern
European Portuguese in comparison to Classical Latin and other Romance Languages such as
Asturian Galician Standard Italian Sicilian and modern European Spanish. The third phenomena
are syncretisms in Italo- and Gallo-Romance their treatment in morphological models and their
relation to syntax. The analyses are made on the basis of detailed corpus studies and evaluated
against the background of current morphological models.
