Abstract

The aims of this article, dedicated to reflecting on quantitative prefixation, are several. Firstly, it pretends to clarify the morphological status of morphemes indicating quantity in Spanish and Bulgarian, establishing the similarities and differences between these two related languages. Secondly, it seeks to compile inventories of quantitative formants, which could be useful in the classes of Spanish as a Foreign Language to foster and stimulate learners’ creative freedom and to spark their interest in issues related to the use of these quantitative prefixes.

Key words: quantifying prefix, quantity, morpheme, derived word, compound word
