| Summary: | By taking the phenomena of dropping (aphaeresis) and addition (prosthesis) of inicial/al as the chiefpoint in a diffusionist inquiry, this article intends to discuss two main points. First, we analyse the most relevant characteristics or the phenomena in question as well as the typology of the initial segments we have found out. Our purpose is to present a morphological salience scale as the chief refraining agent of change. Secondly, we analyse the results ofthe tested lexical parameters and assume the hypothesis of the Inverse Proportionateness of the phenomena which, like a play on equivalences in a mirror, spread simetrically through the lexicon. |
