Stem alternations in Romance have recently been argued to be regulated largely by autonomously morphological (aka morphomic) organizational principles. Here, I assess the relative contribution of morphomic structures vis à vis alternative principles, namely semantic structure, and token frequency. Results confirm the exceptional importance of autonomously morphological domains on Romance verb stem alternations; however, inherent inflectional values and token frequency also play a decisive role in the overall stem-morphological similarity of different paradigm cells.
