N2 - This presentation intends to underline the importance of the concept of compositionality for morphological studies, particularly for those that focus on derivation. Without denying the deep relation between formal and semantic transparency and productivity, since any neologism is formed by regular processes and is, in principle, compositional, I’ll try to justify that non productive processes (Portuguese -ura nominalizations) are characterized by the same degree of compositionality of productive processes (Portuguese -dor nominalizations). Some inherited words and loans that synchronically can be taken as derived compositional words will also be considered. Finally, it will be discussed how the knowledge of the history of words has or has not some repercussions in morphological analysis.
