%X This paper seeks to introduce an alternative perspective on the treatment of derivation within a functional framework like Role and Reference Grammar (RRG). By taking a functional perspective, we assume that word formation is a two-dimensional phenomenon involving both onomasiological and grammatical components. Furthermore, grammatical processes are considered to be semantically motivated. In order to properly account for the internal mechanisms involved in word formation, we formulate affixal lexical representations by using Lexical Templates as devised within the LCM (see Mairal Us¨®n & Faber 2007; Mairal Us¨®n & Ru¨ªz de Mendoza 2008a,b; Ruiz de Mendoza & Mairal Us¨®n 2008; Butler 2009; Cort¨¦s Rodr¨ªguez 2009, among others).
