Usually the Spanish Word-formation of the kind zapatero ‘shoe-maker’ and zapatería ‘shoe-making’ is analyzed by a pair of suffixes that are added to a base. In this sense, it is considered that the suffixes -ero and -ería are two of the most productive derivative suffixes in Spanish. However, this type of Morpheme-based analysis presents some inconsistencies: variously subjacent structures, homonym suffixes and extended polysemy. In this paper, I employ the Word-based model perspective to make a functional and schematic analysis of the Spanish Word-formation of the kind zapatería ‘shoe-making’, zapato ‘shoe’, zapatero ‘shoe-maker’. I propose a general scheme of tripartite word-formation [‘domain of x’ /Xería/N]–[‘manipulable object x’ /X/N]–[‘instrument for manipulating x’ /Xero/N]. It will be shown that this type of analysis based on word-schemes captures at best in an empirical, effective and intuitive way, all the linguistic dimensions that are at stake in this kind of word-formation, which is potentially jointly-liable (‘formación solidaria’, see Beniers 1996).
