Abstract:
AbstractIn this paper I present the types of nominalization in Kakua, a language spoken by a group of hunter-gatherer peoples from the small Kakua-Nukakan family, inhabitants of the Vaupés area in eastern Colombia. I argue that the nominalization strategies in Kakua have developed from a traceable typical Kakua-Nukakan strategy, into a more Vaupés-like profile of expressing nominalizations, where Kakua had added more nominalization strategies in order for the language to adapt to the types of nominalizations found in many of Kakua’s neighboring languages in the Vaupés area. For this, I will first give a description of the nominalization strategies in Kakua, to later compare them to the nominalization strategies in Nukak, Kakua’s sister language spoken outside of the Vaupés area. The paper concludes with a comparison of nominalization in Kakua and the nominalization strategies found in the surrounding languages.

Abstract:
Drawing on Systemic Functional Linguistics, this study explored variational use of nominalization in 600 textbook introductions and 200 book reviews in applied linguistics and medicine. The nominalized expressions were identified in the texts, the frequencies of the nominalization types were counted, and eventually a chi-square test was administered. Analysis of nominalization patterns across the different informational/promotional moves revealed divergent patterns in the two disciplines but insignificant differences across the genres in focus. The density of nominalizations was acknowledged in the applied linguistics introductions and book reviews. However, functional variations in the use of nominalizations were found only in the introductions. As for the proportion of nominalization to grammatical metaphor, results demonstrated a lower tendency towards nominalizing scientific information in the medicine corpus. Further research is needed to see how nominalization is exploited in other genres and other disciplines.

Abstract:
Abstract This paper focuses on deverbal nominalizations with the suffix –ón in modern Spanish, bearing in mind their morphological, syntactic and semantic properties. The suffix –ón gives rise to three types of nominalizations, according to the event structure of the verbal base: resultant object nominalization (rozón), resultant state nominalization (apagón) and punctual action (empujón). These nominalizations do not inherit the event structure of the verb, so they have few verbal properties. All nominalizations with –ón are countable (even nominalizations built on atelic verb, such as acelerón), and all of them exhibit the same meaning related to the sudden and brusque development of the action. In this sense, the suffix –ón fixes the syntactic and semantic content of the nominalization, so that this suffix is semantically specified and it is opposed to other nominalising suffixes because it denotes punctual actions or results reached once the action is developed suddenly and with brusqueness.

Abstract:
As an important grammatical resource, nominalization has drawn many scholars’ attention, in which the most representative one is Halliday’s research on nominalization, and the breakthrough of his study is chiefly reflected in the researches about scientific discourses. Inspired by Halliday, many researchers have carried out various empirical researches on nominalization in different discourses. This study reviewed four types of empirical studies on nominalization, which are nominalization in academic discourse, nominalization in non-academic discourse, comparison of nominalization in different discourses and translation of nominalization. Through reviewing these studies, limitations concerning research methodology, research materials and analysis procedures are discussed. Finally, the analysis suggests that researchers should take all types of nominalizations into consideration and further elaborate their functions in different discourses, moreover, researches should focus more on practical significance of the study in the future and try to offer learners more advice on the use of nominalization and construction of academic writing.

Abstract:
In this paper I examine eleven different processes of deverbal nominalization in Runyankore, a Lacustrine Bantu language spoken in Uganda. After establishing both general and Runyankore-specific properties that distinguish nouns from verbs, I test each of these nominalizations against 13 phonological, morphological, and syntactic criteria. Although all eleven nominalization constructions can take the determiner-like initial vowel “augment”, and all can be derived from verb bases that include derivational suffixes (“extensions”), e.g. causative, applicative, and reciprocal, only some of the nominalizations allow a pronominal object prefix or a following noun phrase object or adverbial. The various properties are tabulated to show that the different nominalizations vary along a cline, meeting all, some, or none of the nine most discriminating criteria in defining “noun” vs. “verb”.

Abstract:
Technical writers and editors assume that readers are generally helped when nominalizations and the weak verbs that accompany them are replaced with the verb form of the nominalization. The study discussed here tests that assumption. Specifically, the study assessed the effect of nominalizations, nominalization imageability, and idea importance on readers' recall of technical prose. The results indicate that denominalized text is most effective in helping native speakers focus on more important information. Yet for non-native speakers, nominalized text may work quite well. Conclusions and recommendations for further study are offered.

Abstract:
The article deals with nominalization as a linguistic form with a universal discourse function. lt offers an explanation ofthe discourse function of nominalization as a topicalization mechanism. From this stems the assumption that the use of nominalization is associated with specific text types, which is supported by a comparative study ofnominalizations carried out on a sample of English and Slovene newspaper articles from two different periods. The study tests some predictions with regard to the use and frequency of nominalizations in the sample, which are based on general assumptions about the function ofnominalizations and some previous obseniations about nominizing tendencies in English and Slovene. The results of this study show that both English and Slovene newspaper articles yield similar global patterns in the distribution of nominalization in connection with the text type.

Abstract:
Koro is a Tibeto-Burman language spoken in the East Kameng district of Arunachal Pradesh. The present paper deals with the nominalization processes in Koro. Two types of nominalizing strategy is seen in Koro: derivational and clausal. Derivational nominalization derives a noun from a non-nominal lexical root (a verb or adjective) as [V-NMZ]N or [ADJ-NMZ]N. In clausal nominalizations, the nominalized clause is subordinate to the matrix clause. Koro employs the morphological marker –gõ to derive nouns from action verbs. The clausal nominals do not take any nominalizer marker but display nominal markers like number, definite articles, case on the verb.

Abstract:
This paper examines the structural and semantics properties of non-eventive nominalizations in Spanish. By applying the decomposition of verbs developed by Ramchand (2008), we identify several configurational constraints in the formation and interpretation of nominalizations. We propose that the notion of ‘result’ actually covers different structures, and that a distinction between objects and states is needed. Then, we observe that predicates that have ProcP and ResP can yield both eventive nominalizations and stative nominalizations, whereas those predicates that have ProcP and an internal argument in its complement position can give rise both to eventive nominalizations and to object nominalizations. An important generalization arises also from the position of internal arguments. Those internal arguments that occupy a specifier position can never be taken as the meaning of a given nominalization. Therefore, we arrive at the conclusion that a nominalization can take an eventive projection and whatever is in its complement position (either an internal argument or a new subeventive projection) but cannot lexicalize specifiers, which have to be independently spelt out.

Abstract:
In this paper, various types of nominalizations are examined in English to Russian translation. A predicative verb at the beginning of a simple English sentence can be replaced by a deverbal noun in translation in order to shift the focus of attention to an adverbial modifier. In a semantically complicated sentence, the nominalization of an adverbial phrase increases its status in the communicative structure of a particular sentence and the entire text. The study showed that the nominalization in English to Russian translation is an effective strategy for preserving the coherence of the text.

Abstract:
This dissertation contains three studies, which explore various questions about verbal aspect and how it is affected by the process of nominalization. The first study examines the type of regular eventive nominalizations in Slavic and Germanic languages, which comprise verbal and resultative nouns. It is shown that the availability of these nominalization types depends on how the values of two aspectual parameters are set up in particular languages. The second study deals with English -er, and French -eur deverbal nouns, which denote external arguments. Four different types of reading are recognized for these nouns: episodic, habitual, dispositional, and occupational/instrument readings. The observed variation is accounted for by means of the notion of a stage of an individual or a kind. The last study investigates in more detail the meaning of resultative nominals. They are claimed to have a meaning which parallels that of the perfect aspect in the sentential domain. The overall conclusion is that aspect plays a significant role in the semantics of deverbal nominals.
Aquesta tesi ofereix tres estudis que exploren diverses qüestions sobre l’aspecte verbal i come està afectat pel procés de nominalització. El primer estudi examina les nominalitzacions eventives regulars les llengües eslaves i germàniques, específicament els noms verbals i resultatius. Es mostra que la possibilitat d’aquests tipus de nominalitzacions depèn de com els valors de dos paràmetres aspectuals es configuren en llengües concretes. El segon estudi se centra en els noms deverbals en -er d’anglès i en -eur de francès, que denoten arguments externs. S’identifica quatre intepretacions diferents per aquests noms: episòdica, habitual, de disposició, i ocupacional / instrument. La variació observada s’explica mitjançant la noció d’estadi (stage) d’un individu o d’una classe d’individus (kind). L’últim estudi investiga amb més detall el significat dels nominals resultatius. S’argumenta que aquests nominalitzacions tenen un significat paral·lel a la de l’aspecte perfecte en el domini oracional. La conclusió global de la tesi és que aspecte juga un paper fonamental en la semàntica dels noms deverbals.

Abstract:
This dissertation studies Bantu nominalizations drawing evidence primarily from Gikuyu and Bantu languages already in the literature. Gikuyu provides a very rich system of deverbal nouns which brings to the fore issues regarding word and phrase composition of deverbal elements, and the lexical integrity of words. Bantu nominalizations have received little attention in the literature in works such as Myers (1987), Kinyalolo (1991), Bresnan and Mchombo (1995). A very striking aspect of nominalized verbs in Gikuyu, (and Bantu) is that they bear both noun morphology (noun class marking), and verbal morphology (both inflectional and derivational). Deverbal nouns are many in Bantu languages and can not be taken to be idiosyncratic elements, without attempting to discover whether they are subject to principles that explain their large variety and numbers. In this study it is apparent that deverbal nouns do encapsulate the properties of nouns and verbs simultaneously. Upon nominalization Gikuyu shows that we get a set intersection of the properties of N and those of V. These properties are maintained from the sub-lexical level to the phrasal level. I propose that when the sub-lexical source of these nominalizations is established, it becomes apparent why deverbal nouns exhibit split category or mixed category status. This study also employs tests to check distributional and behavioral properties of all the items under scrutiny. I show that there are N/V ambiguous elements (infinitive/gerunds) and a family of mixed N/V elements whose category type can not be uniquely determined. Split and mixed category items challenge conventional premises of analysis which require every word to be associated to some unique category type. I have utilized the idea of Extended Heads in Grimshaw (1991) and Bresnan (1996) and the theory of Lexical-Functional Grammar (LFG) of Bresnan (1982), to account for the distinction between pure, split, and mixed category elements. Central to the analysis is the association of affixal information on words directly to grammatical function without first relating the affixes to category and projection.

PONTIFÍCIA UNIVERSIDADE CATÓLICA DO RIO DE JANEIRO
O objetivo deste estudo é contrastar as línguas portuguesa e inglesa no que diz respeito às nominalizações gerundivas e aos derivados nominais, uma vez que as gerundivas só ocorrem morfologicamente no inglês e têm grande previsibilidade semântica enquanto os derivados nominais apresentam variedade semântica, assim sendo de pouca previsibilidade (Chomsky, 1970). Com este objetivo foram selecionados dois livros escritos originalmente no inglês, de cada um dos quais aleatoriamente tomou-se um capítulo para servir de corpus para a investigação. A análise do corpus nos levou às seguintes conclusões: (a) no português, a equivalência para as gerundivas de ação do inglês é fundamentalmente o Infinitivo nominal; (b) para os nominais de ação, a equivalência é um substantivo deverbal; (c) diversas estruturas verbais são possíveis como equivalência no português para as gerundivas factuais; e (d) ao contrário do que se previa, também os derivados nominais apresentam grande previsibilidade de interpretação, configurando-se uma situação de polissemia sistemática.
The goal of this study is to investigate English and Portuguese with regard to gerundive nominalizations and derived nominals. Gerundive Nominalizations only occur in English and are regular and semantically predictable, while derived nominals are not regular and have a great range of semantic interpretations, therefore little predictability (Chomsky, 1970). In order to proceed to the contrastive study we selected two books originally written in English, from each of which a chapter was randomly taken to serve as a corpus for the analysis. Our analysis led to the following conclusions: (a) In Portuguese, the nominal infinitive is systematically used for the action gerundive structures of English; (b) for the action nominal, the Portuguese correspondence is a deverbal noun; (c) there are different verbal structures to represent factual gerundives in Portuguese; and (d) as an unexpected result, derived nominal do have semantic predictability, situation which could be considered as one of systematic polysemy.

Abstract:
Kwak̓wala appears to give privileged status to the syntactic position of subject in the formation of several clause types that rely on extraction; that is to say, the subject is the only element which can be A'-extracted to form relative clauses, WH-questions, and cleft sentences. For this reason, it has been claimed that any constituent which is not the subject must first become the subject in order to be extracted. This is achieved by marking the predicate of the clause with one of several suffixes which have variously been termed passive markers, focus markers, and nominalizers. This thesis argues that the supposedly unique behaviour of the subject is a result of restrictions against extraction of case-marked DPs, and shows that non-subject constituents which are not case-marked can extract without first being promoted to subject position. Furthermore, I argue that nominalization is the most satisfactory analysis of the suffixes which allow DPs that would otherwise be case-marked to surface as subjects. This account is particularly useful in accounting for the behaviour and distribution of the suffix -nukw, which has what appear to be two different functions (indicating possession and indefinite objects), and which defies explanation according to both of the predominant theories of passive formation (Baker, Johnson & Roberts 1989; Collins 2005). I further argue that, of the eight suffixes I consider, only seven display sufficient syntactic similarities to be considered a single class of affixes. The eighth is not only distinct in its behaviour, but is also the only one which targets non-subjects that are not case-marked. Finally, I consider how my proposed structure for Kwak̓wala compares to analyses for Austronesian languages, and particularly Tagalog, which has been observed to have similar patterns of extraction.

Abstract:
This dissertation is a detailed exploration of two constructions in Halkomelem Salish – Predicate Nominalization and Clausal Nominalization – which I group together as syntactic nominalization. I use these terms throughout to refer to the particular operations, and refer to the results of those operations as nominalized predicates and nominalized clauses, respectively. The two constructions examined here share some nominal morphological features. Both possess an /s-/ nominalizer, identical in shape with the nominalizer used to create (theme) participant nominals. Possessive agreement morphology appears in both nominalized predicates and nominalized clauses, indexing the highest argument in each. Despite these surface similarities and a common source, I argue that these two operations are synchronically distinct, and, as a corollary, that they are formed with distinct, homophonous nominalizers. In Chapter 3, I address predicate nominalization, which is used to create a predicate whose subject is interpreted as the theme of the non-nominalized predicate. I argue that predicate nominalization forms a reduced relative clause at the edge of the thematic domain, with the nominalizer functioning as a relative pronoun. I further argue that the nominalizer projects after remerge, thus creating a constituent with the internal structure of a relative clause and the external distribution of an NP. In Chapter 4, I argue that clausal nominalization forms a defective CP, which is used as the default embedded clause and as the dependent clause(s) in a clause chain. I analyze nominalizer in clausal nominalization as a complementizer that cannot convey illocutionary force. My analysis captures the fact that nominalized clauses have the formal properties and distribution of clauses rather than DPs, along with their embedded and clause-chaining uses. I take a cross-Salish perspective in Chapter 5, showing how attested variation within the family is compatible with my analyses.

Abstract:
Cette thèse porte sur la langue yukuna (ISO 693-3: ycn, Glottocode: yucu1253), une langue arawak de l’Amazonie coolombienne. Le yukuna est une langue sous étudiée et menacée de disparition, parlée par environ mille locuteurs dans des communautés situées le long du fleuve Mirití-Paraná dans le nord ouest de l’Amazonie. Cette thèse est structurée en deux parties. La partie I présente une esquisse grammaticale de la langue (119pp.), basée sur un corpus de textes de première main (25000 mots, 4,5 heures d’enregistrements). La partie II présente une description et une discussion approfondie sur la nominalisation et les constructions basées sur la nominalisation dans la langue.La nominalisation en yukuna est omniprésente dans le corpus, et elle est versatile dans ses fonctions. En effet, le yukuna a huit marques de nominalisation différentes, employées avec des formes verbales ambigües qui montrent des propriétés verbales ainsi que nominales. Ces formes verbales sont extrêmement fréquentes, se trouvant dans environ 80% des phrases du corpus. Les formes verbales portant ces marques occupent des nombreuses positions syntaxiques, avec des fonctions très variées. Au-delà de la fonction référentielle typique des nominalisations dans des positions syntaxiques nominales telles que argument d’un prédicat verbal, ces formes verbales se trouvent également dans les propositions relatives, les propositions adverbiales, des constructions de type clause chaining, voire même dans des propositions principales comme marques discursives ou de TAM. La description de ces constructions sur la base d’un corpus oral représente ainsi un défi méthodologique considérable. L’objectif de cette thèse a été d’appliquer une méthodologie rigoureuse et systématique qui rend compte de la complexité des données.Cette étude adopte une approche qui part de la forme pour décrire la function. La méthodologie adoptée positionne le prototype du groupe nominal (GN) comme l’outil principal pour identifier, catégoriser et décrire les nominalisations. Chaque construction d’intérêt est donc décrite selon le degré auquel ses traits correspondent au prototype du GN ou s’en écartent, du point de vue tant de sa morphosyntaxe interne que de sa distribution externe. Cette méthode est particulèrement adaptée pour identifier les trajets d’expansion fonctionelle des nominalisations, en séparant leurs usages dans des positions syntaxiques nominales, de leurs usages dans des positions syntaxiques exclues des GN. J’emploi le terme ‘construction basée sur la nominalisation’ pour décrire ces usages novateurs des nominalisations, en suivant la terminologie proposée par Post (2011). Les résultats de l’application de cette méthode aux données du yukuna révèlent que les fonctions des nominalisations du yukuna sont comparables à celles décrites dans la literature sur les nominalisations versatiles. Le yukuna est remarquable sur la co existance de tant d’usages des nominalisations en synchronie
This dissertation focuses on Yukuna (ISO 693-3: ycn, Glottocode: yucu1253), an Arawak language of Colombian Amazonia. Yukuna is a definitely endangered, understudied language, spoken by under one thousand speakers in various communities along the Mirití-Paraná River in North Western Amazonia. This dissertation is organized in two parts. Part I provides a grammar sketch of the language (119pp.), on the basis of a first hand corpus of texts (25000 words, 4,5 hours of recording). Part II provides an in depth description and discussion of nominalizations and nominalization based constructions in Yukuna. Nominalizations in Yukuna are pervasive in discourse, and versatile in their functions. Indeed, there are eight different nominalization markers in Yukuna, used with ambiguous verb forms that display both verbal and nominal features. These verb forms are incredibly frequent, found in average in 80% of sentences in the corpus of texts. Verb forms carrying these markers are found in a variety of syntactic positions, and with different functions, from the prototypical referential use of nominalizations as arguments within verbal clauses, to other, less prototypical uses such as in relative clauses, adverbial clauses, clause chaining, and even as TAM and discourse markers in main clauses. Describing the complexity of Yukuna nominalizations in terms of their internal structure, external distribution and corpus frequency represents a major methodological challenge. This dissertation aims to present the complexities of Yukuna nominalizations in a way that is both thorough and systematic. In this study, I adopt a form to function methodology that establishes the prototype of Noun Phrases as the main tool to identify, categorize and describe nominalizations. Individual constructions are described in terms of the degree to which they match or differ from the language specific features of the NP prototype, in terms of both its internal morphosyntax and external distribution. This method is particularly reliable to identify the distributional and functional expansion of nominalizations, by distinguishing the use of verb forms marked with nominalizing morphology in syntantic positions of NPs (nominalization constructions), from their use in syntactic positions that are not those of NPs. I refer to this latter type of use as nominalization based constructions, following Post (2011). The results of this methodology applied to Yukuna show that the versatility of Yukuna nominalizations in fact largely conforms to the patterns of functional expansion of nominalizations reported in the literature. The most salient fact about the Yukuna nominalizations is that so many of the cross linguistically attested uses of nominalizations are simultaneously attested in a single language

Abstract:
This dissertation uses syntactic, semantic and morphological evidence from English nominalization to probe the interaction of event-structure and syntax, develop a typology of structural complexity within nominalization, and test hypotheses about the strict ordering of functional items. I focus on the widely assumed typology of nominalization found in Chomsky (1970). In particular, I show that derived nominals are structurally more complex than nominal gerunds; this has long been assumed to be the opposite. I provide a structural and morphological account of these forms of nominalization. In doing so, I explore a number of disparate topics such as: the importance of syncretism in apparently unrelated morphological elements for theories like Distributed Morphology; the role of prepositions in allowing or preventing binding relations and NPI-licensing, the exact nature of root-object union that allows idiomatic interpretations; the morphological reflexes of Case in the nominal system; the syntactic structure of verb particle constructions; the nature of events in nominalization; and the role syntactic operations play in determining morphological regularity. The dissertation also explores the nature of the English verb particle construction, arguing that it has (at least) three distinct structural configurations. Using these three distinct structures I am able to explain a number of distinct behaviors from predicate-object relationships, particle modification and argument loss in particle construction. I also discuss the relationship between particles (and results) and the different forms of nominalization. In particular, I show that apparent co-occurrence restrictions between nominal types and particles are not due to event-structure or other semantic restrictions. Rather, these differences are tied solely to the particular, idiosyncratic morphological properties of the constructions. The dissertation shows that certain functional projections may only appear once with a given root, but that there is some freedom of ordering of projections relative to the root in some cases. This work provides a window into the interaction between syntax and event structure as well as the nature of ordering within functional projections.

Nominalization and its various functions is a topic of considerable current interest in Tibeto-Burman (TB) studies and has both typological and historical implications. This thesis documents and discusses data of nominalizing velar prefixes in the different branches of the TB language family. Based on the reconstruction ofa Proto-TibetoBurman (PTB) 'adjectival prefix' *gV- suggested by TB wide-scale comparativists such as Wolfenden, Shafer, Benedict, and Matisoff, this study incorporates extensive data on velar prefixes covering other functions that are, just like deriving adjectival modifiers, typically associated with nominalization in TB. The various pieces of evidence thus suggest that the existence of a PTB *gV- nominalizer is the best explanation for the distribution of forms and functions of the respective prefixes in TB languages.
