ABSTRACT
This chapter analyses verbalisations with -ificar, both denominal and deadjectival. The two main properties of this suffix are that it never participates in parasynthetic formations and that it always produces change of state or change of location verbs with the regular properties of these verb types. The analysis proposed is that the suffix spells out not only the verbalisers Init and Proc, but also a fully fledged relational structure. Therefore, syntactically the formations containing -ificar have the specification of change of state or location structures, but at the level of spell out the suffix consumes the relational material and leaves no heads for a prefix to spell out.
