MUJER Y HOMBRE COMO BASES PARA LA FORMACIÓN DE PALABRAS DERIVADAS

Abstract

When an observer or investigator looks attentively at the words-bases in the process of word formation, he can notice the diff erence in the number of their derivatives. It is the case of the words we refer to in the title of this paper. We do not think only about the opposition between female / male but also about the reference of the word woman in Spanish which, is limited in comparison with man. We suppose that’s the reason of greater productivity of the fi rst of the quoted words, which has derivatives and syntagmatic compounds of diff erent kinds (as, e.g. mujeriego, mujeril or mujerona), while it is not the case of the second word (e.g. hombracho, hombruno). It is also interesting to observe how these derivatives change their reference as to gender (as, for example, mujeriego which refers to man and hombruno as a possible qualifi cation of a woman). As the years go by, some of these derivatives or compounds became obsolete, while new forms appear, which refl ect the changes in the social life (e.g. muter de negocios/business woman). Finally, the comparison with their Polish equivalents allows to see the interdependence between the form (as it can be seen in the word mężczyzna /man/ in Polish) or the reference of a word – base (as in hombre /man/ in Spanish) and the number of its derivatives.
