Abstract

The academic literature and the most recent research projects on the “gentilic relation” hardly deal with the history of demonym formation in Romance languages. Literature on theorizing about demonyms not clarifies the reason for the extraordinary gentilic productivity that the Romance-speaking world present, nor addresses the historical background of this richness. In order to contribute to fill this gap, this article rehearses a succinct introduction to demonymic lexicogenesis.
