Malkiel Yakov. Patterns of Derivational Affixation in the Cabraniego Dialect of East-central Asturian

Berkeley; Los Angeles; London: University of California Press, 1970. — 103 p. — (University of California publications in linguistics 64).The importance of Asturo-Leonese dialects for the study of comparative Romance phonology and inflection has been known since the pioneering studies of A. Fuchs (1840) and E. Gessner (1867). The original, richly diversified material which the lexical deposits of these dialects offer invites likewise the attention of the student of Romance affixation. The present monograph attempts to make a start in this direction by concentrating on a single subdialect rather circumstantially described over thirty years ago: the speech of Cabranes in East-Central Asturias.
