spelling The Morphological Structure of Old English Complex NounsTorre Alonso, Roberto [0000-0001-6195-5722]This journal article takes issue with the morphological structure of complex nouns in Old English. This stage of the language is characterised by a rich morphology and, with most of its lexemes being morphologically complex, Old English provides a fertile field of study for the kind of analysis here undertaken. The present study analyses the interaction between affixation, compounding, zero-derivation and inflection in terms of the feeding of the morphological processes, that is, the successive order in which they appear, thus allowing for the establishment of regular patterns of noun formation and generalizations on lexical creation. Overall, 119 different word structures have been identified, depending on the type and number of morphological processes involved. The conclusion is reached that non-basic nouns in Old English contain up to six levels of complexity, with the bulk of the formations consisting of three and four levels, that is, with three or four derivational steps taking place. Este artículo se ocupa de la estructura de los nombres complejos del inglés antiguo. Este estadio de la lengua se caracteriza por su rica morfología, y dado que la mayor parte del léxico de este periodo es morfológicamente complejo, el inglés antiguo se muestra como un campo de estudio adecuado para el tipo de análisis que aquí se presenta. El presente estudio analiza la interacción entre los procesos derivativos de afijación, composición, derivación cero y flexión en términos de alimentación de procesos, es decir, el orden sucesivo en el que éstos aparecen, lo que permite establecer patrones en la formación de sustantivos y generalizaciones respecto de la creación léxica. En total se han identificado 119 estructuras diferentes, que se distribuyen en seis niveles de complejidad morfológica. La mayor parte de los predicados estudiados, no obstante, contienen tres o cuatro niveles de complejidad, esto es, su derivación requiere tres o cuatro pasos.
