Descripción
Sumario:This chapter presents a basic description of the inflectional morphology of the Galician language: gender, number and morphological classes in nouns and adjectives; the allomorphy of the definite article; the paradigms of pronouns and determiners (including their allomorphic alternations and their contractions with the word forms of other lexemes); verbal morphology will merit special attention since the Galician verbal paradigm contains sixty-nine morphosyntactic cells and verbs should belong to one of three existing conjugations. Galician being a moderately fusional language, the content of the morphosyntactic cells may be expressed through the addition of suffixes, zero morphology or modifications in the verbal root.
