Thesis (Ph.D.)--The University of Wisconsin - Madison, 2004.

This dissertation attempts to describe when and to what extent the use of 19 Spanish nominalizing suffixes changed over five centuries (c. 1200 to c. 1700), and to explore the usefulness of linguistic theory and socio-historical circumstances in explaining these changes. In defining its theoretical model, the study adapts elements of modern sociolinguistics to more traditional historical linguistics. Included in this concept of historical sociolinguistics are full-scale models of change like standardization and koineization, but also theoretical elements frequently left out of historical studies, like accommodation theory and social networks. The study argues that the object of investigation---suffixed nouns---should not imply too stark a distinction between suffix use and the more commonly used term derivation. Since we cannot know how or verify when morphological fusion occurs, this dissertation considers all cases of transparent suffix use as equivalent to derivation, regardless of their temporal remove from known first attestations.

520 $a This dissertation attempts to describe when and to what extent the use of 19 Spanish nominalizing suffixes changed over five centuries (c. 1200 to c. 1700), and to explore the usefulness of linguistic theory and socio-historical circumstances in explaining these changes. In defining its theoretical model, the study adapts elements of modern sociolinguistics to more traditional historical linguistics. Included in this concept of historical sociolinguistics are full-scale models of change like standardization and koineization, but also theoretical elements frequently left out of historical studies, like accommodation theory and social networks. The study argues that the object of investigation---suffixed nouns---should not imply too stark a distinction between suffix use and the more commonly used term derivation.

520 $a As a tool for extracting information about primary source texts, a relational database was created to assign each form to its appropriate suffix. Every word form was associated with its source, and by extension the text's author(s), date(s) of composition, etc. Each text was likewise flagged for several characteristics---whether it was printed or manuscript, whether it contains prose or verse, and what broad textual type(s) it falls into (notarial, scientific, literary, etc.).
520 $a Against the backdrop of our qualitative knowledge of each text or group of texts, the study culls information from the database to describe patterns of suffix use. These patterns include a flourishing of short-lived suffixed forms in the Alfonsine material and an abrupt restraint of variable suffix usage shortly after the introduction of moveable type in Iberia. This shift corroborates the notion that linguistic standardization advanced with the advent of printing, but notable exceptions also require explanation. The study closes with an interpretation of the state of affairs that arises with widespread printing in light of the theoretical models of standardization and koineization. The somewhat rare exceptions to the emerging norms of suffix use appear mostly in manuscripts and correspond to expected patterns of lexical diffusion.
