Spanish Person Markers

The present paper attempts to analyze a portion of Spanish verb morphology, namely the morphemes which indicate person. The model within which the analysis is framed is that of Item and Arrangement. Phonemic stretches are segmented into morphs; each morph boundary coincides with a phoneme boundary, but not conversely. We reject replacive and subtractive morphs. We accept zero morphs, but not zero morphemes, i.e. morphemes with zero as their only member. We also accept portmanteau morphs, i.e. morphs which belong simultaneously to two morphemes, but (again) not morphemes with portmanteau morphs as their only member. On the basis of the Spanish data, we suggest a further restriction on the use of zero and portmanteau morphs
