« Iel est petit ou petite, ou petit·e ? » Le défi de l’ accord avec le pronom iel

Furthermore, suffixes are traditionally considered as categorial heads, but some suffixes derive words of multiple categories. This paper proposes an alternative analysis of French suffixes, distinguishing three instead of two types, using a theory by Creemers et al. (2015…
