Estudos de Lingüística Galega

Estudos de Lingüística Galega is a yearly journal established in 2009 with the objective of creating a forum for critical analysis and linguistic research and a place for discussion of the Galician language.

Given these aims, Estudos de Lingüística Galega contains two sections, Pescuda and Anada. In the Pescuda section the journal publishes original research articles on different branches of linguistics and philology. A special place is given to studies of Galician or of interest for Galician (including work on Romance linguistics, general linguistics, or with a theoretical or methodological focus), as well as studies of varieties of Portuguese. In the Anada section, the journal publishes an index of scientific writing in the year preceding each issue that is directly or indirectly related to Galician and original critical reviews of linguistic publications about Galician.

Estudos de Lingüística Galega has the quality imprint of the FECYT and is indexed in Scopus, ERIH PLUS, ESCI, CSA Linguistics and Language Behavior Abstracts, Linguistic Bibliography, MLA (Modern Language Association), REDALYC, DOAJ, Open Access Digital Library, ISOC, ULRICH, DIALNET, CiteFactor, Cabell's Directory, REDIB. ANEP (the Agencia Nacional de Evaluación y Prospectiva), CARHUS+ 2018 and CIRC (Clasificación integrada de revistas científicas) classify it as an A-type journal, the Integrated System Capes (Qualis Periodicos) as A2 and the ICDS in MIAR is 9,65.

The digital portal of Estudos de Lingüística Galega is in Galician and English; its languages of publication are Galician, Portuguese, Catalan, Spanish, French, English and Italian.

The preparation of the volumes of Estudos de Lingüística Galega is partially funded through the support for the Consolidación e estruturación de unidades de investigación competitivas from the Consellería de Educación, Ciencia, Universidades e Formación Profesional to the Filoloxía e Lingüística Galega Research Group of the Universidade de Santiago de Compostela.

Results of the ending -anum, -anam, -anos and -anas in Galician

Aquilino Santiago Alonso Núñez

Published 06-03-2025

The aim of this research is to describe the results of the endings -anum, -anam, -anos and -anas in the municipality of Castrelo do Val, in the region of Verín, in the whole of Galician and in the Galician-Portuguese dialect continuum. The data come from the Atlas Lingüístico Galego (ALGa), the Atlas Lingüístico de la Península Ibérica (ALPI), the work of Rodríguez Lorenzo (NEnq 2022), and other research, including our own field research. For the long-term variation of the endings mentioned, toponymic data and examples from past texts were used. The fundamental change consisted in simplifying the complex syllable, especially in the plural verbs (-auns). The resulting changes made the central-eastern variant the main variant of common Galician, which preserves specific forms (with imperceptible nasality, which is not written) for masculine and feminine and for their plurals. The western system eliminates the generic difference of the medieval elements in the singular and plural forms by losing the glide of the diphthong of masculine words or by making it imperceptible. This results in a further departure from the medieval forms with the central-eastern system, although not as much as some Portuguese dialectal varieties. The central-eastern and western systems are the result of the convergence that took place between neighbouring territories with continuity of population over a long period of time, which allowed the elimination of their variation (-aun / -au / -án). Between the two aforementioned systems, there is a hybrid area with a variety of results, in which the central-eastern forms are gradually prevailing. In non-western territory, there are conservative places with ‑án and [ã], and innovative places featuring -ou.
