What's nominal in nominalizations?
Lingua, 2011This article investigates the nature of syntactic categories: What does it mean to be a noun or a verb? The discussion focuses on nominalizations. It is shown that there is a distinction between nouns and verbs at a basic level. The essential difference between verbs and nouns resides in the availability in principle of merging instructions in the ...

AS‐nominals and AS‐nominalizers
2013AbstractThis chapter provides a detailed analysis of the structure of ‘long’ AS-nominals (cases in which both subject and object are fully articulated and no by-phrase is used), and further puts forth a distinction between the nominalizing affixes -ing and -ation (the latter including its ‘kin’, i.e. -ance/ence, -ment,; -al, and possibly -age) based on

Abstract Many languages have morphosyntactic systems that impose a classification on their nominal lexicon. The nature of these systems varies widely, ranging from large systems of lexico‐syntactic numeral classifiers, as known from East and South East Asian languages, to highly grammaticalized gender agreement systems of, e.g ...

The roots of nominality, the nominality of roots
2014AbstractThis chapter explores a perspective on nominal meaning, which does not take noun referents for granted but instead focuses on the conceptualization of entity types as the distinctive property of nouns. This perspective on the lexical semantics of nouns is descriptively useful and allows a characterization of nominality as a primitive lexical ...

ACM SIGLOG News, 2016
Programming languages abound with features making use of names in various ways. There is a mathematical foundation for the semantics of such features which uses groups of permutations of names and the notion of the support of an object with respect to the action of such a group.

Categorization and nominalization in zero nominals
2020In ‘Categorization and nominalization in zero-derived nouns’ Iordăchioaia discusses a type of nominalization generally neglected in the generative literature after Chomsky (1970), namely zero-derived nouns (ZNs). While overtly suffixed nominals are taken to systematically nominalize verbal constructions with argument structure, ZNs are considered to ...

AbstractThis chapter centers on nominal ellipsis phenomena from a broad perspective. First, several diagnostics are provided in order to make a basic distinction between empty nouns and true instances of nominal ellipses. One set of such diagnostics is related to uniformity considerations; i.e.

Abstract In this chapter I address the ways in which a nominal expression can be ‘grounded’. That is, the ways in which the designated entity can be ‘located’ with respect to the speech act situation (the ‘ground’). A discussion of grounding involves examining the role of determiners and quantifiers, and other aspects of the noun phrase.
