Grammar point: Word formation through Spanish suffixes (part 3)
These Spanish suffixes -ción and -miento can do more than name an event. In essays on ceded rights, they can shrink the author's role or enlarge the autonomy of the resulting fact. Compare “La autora cedió la explotación exclusiva de su novela” with “La cesión ya dejó la novela disponible”.
