Description This article discusses the possible derivative functioning of the vocalic morphemes -o and -a, traditionally considered as gender endings, but interpreted, in certain uses (e.g. the formation of deverbative nouns, such as gasto, paga), as derivative suffixes. We try to demonstrate that the diversity of opinions about their inflectional or derivative nature reflects, in this case, the existence of a zone of transition between inflection and derivation, whose degrees we also attempt to determine.
