Abstract:
<p class="zhengwen"><span lang="X-NONE">In this study, I aim to investigate the ambiguity on the category of the non-modifying Arabic adjectives that occur independently without a modified noun and to provide an account for the following questions: (1) are independent adjectives in Arabic nouns or adjectives?; (2) do they undergo a deadjectivizing process?; and (3) if they do, at which layer in adjectival phases does nominalization take place? I attempt to investigate the bi-categorial nature of independent adjectives in Arabic showing that they are internally adjectival but externally nominal. This analysis postulates that these adjectives have undergone category-change by moving A to the nominalizer D, which has the abstract affix NOM. Semantically, the adjective becomes referential (or +[indiv(iduated)]) naming entities of certain attributes, rather than denoting the attribute. However, DP is not the mere layer at which category-change takes place. The category-change is observed to occur earlier than the DP layers as indicated by the subregularities in the adjective form. The plural morpheme indicates three layers of nominality: the lower nP, NumP, and DP. Adjectives that undergo a-to-n change are nominalized having singular nominal form. Adjectives that are nominalized in NumP are pluralized with the nominal broken plural, yet having a singular adjectival form. Finally, adjectives that are nominalized in the highest functional DP projection are marked with an adjectival sound plural morpheme. This analysis provides a neat account for the diversity in the adjective number form and is favored over the alternative assumption that adjectives in pro-drop languages drop the head noun.<strong></strong></span></p>

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:
Abstract The study aims to identify Adj+N compounds in Modern Standard Arabic by applying the cross-linguistic criteria for compoundhood discussed in the relevant literature. The analysis reveals that the most reliable cross-linguistic criteria to distinguish between phrases and compounds in MSA are adjacency, referentiality, compositionality and the presence of inflection. Another language-specific criterion, i.e. adjacency and the order of elements, which has asserted its validity, has been suggested to distinguish between the two types of construct. I have also shown that all cases of Adj+N compounding in MSA are bahuvrihis, since they denote a person in possession of the entity denoted by the compound. Similar to Fassi Fehri (“Arabic modifying adjectives and DP structures” 1999), I argue that the output of Adj+N compounding behaves more like a noun than an adjective. I propose that Adj+N compounds have a silent N head, i.e. ‘one/person’, which determines the syntactic category of such constructions in Modern Standard Arabic (cf. Günther [“The rich, the poor, the obvious: Arguing for an ellipsis analysis of ‘adjectives used as nouns’”, to appear) for a similar analysis of nominalized adjectives in English).

Abstract:
The article discusses the syntactic, semantic, prosodic, and sociolinguistic features of the contemporary Hebrew construction of the type ‘a beauty of a girl,’ in general N1of N2, known asquality pseudo-partitive(also asbinominal noun-phrase). In this construction, N1is a nominalized adjective and N2is the head. Semantically the syntagm is evaluative, either positively or negatively. The article examines the claim that the construction, first documented in 1928, emerged as an internally caused change, and concludes from the evidence that the construction was calqued from contact languages (English, French, German, Yiddish, and Judeo-Spanish).

Abstract:
This study investigated how fourth graders with different proficiency levels (1st and 4th quartile, 192 and 195 pupils respectively) produce and detect German noun capitalization in relation to two factors, lexical-semantic characteristics of the noun and the structure of the noun phrase (NP). The first factor includes concrete and abstract nouns, and nominalized verbs and adjectives, the second factor the syntactic context of the NP (with or without determiner and/or adjective, including bare noun). The two proficiency groups showed different patterns in the production and detection of capitalization in relation to these two factors after three years of instruction in noun capitalization. The low-proficiency group performed on chance level only for concrete nouns in the context with precedent determiner, the context highlighted at school. The high-proficiency group seemed to make use systematically of the expanded NP in order to recognize and capitalize the noun but still had difficulties with most bare nouns. The paper discusses the type of information low- and high-achieving pupils seem to use in noun capitalization and detection.

Abstract:
<em>The grammatical features of selection in the poem &quot;She&quot; by Boris Khersonskiy and in the novel&quot;She Who Runs on the Waves&quot; by Alexander Grin are researched in the article. It is alleged that the grammatical selection serves as the indicator of their intertextual links. The method of linguopoetical comparative analysis reveals the grammatical markers of intertextual interactions and allows concluding that the form of the participle-formed nominalized transpositive adjective is the morphological and syntactic dominant of both texts. It is assumed that the grammatical characteristics of the dominant grammemes allowed Grin to use them for increasing the nominative ambiguity and for the unraveling of the plot and allowed Khersonskiy to create the generalized image of woman. The gender portrait of the dominant grammeme which is connected with the system of images in texts is significant in both works. The dominant of the lyrical poem by Khersonskiy is continuous, unlike the discrete dominant of the novel by Grin.</em>

Abstract:
AbstractThis article deals with the etymology of the Hattic throne-goddess dḪanwaašuit and the functions of the Hattic case ending with -(V)n. Usually, this case marks a noun for the genitive case in a phrase with two nouns N1-(V)n N2. In the Hattic corpus, there are nouns ending with -(V)n without having a second noun (N2) next to it (free n-case). This paper provides examples of free n-case words with possessive meanings, e. g. takeha=un „the lion’s one“ or wur=un „the country’s (people)“. A free n-case word is a denominal noun which is comparable with a possessive noun or a nominalized adjective. It is shown that the Hattic word for throne was not ḫanwaašuit but ḫanwaašuittun „dḪanwaašuit’s (throne)“. The goddess dḪanwaašuit seems to be a tutelary deity (hattic dWaašul, fem. *dWaašuit) and her name is probably related to (d)ḫanwaašu(i)sin(u) meaning aššu- „good“.

Abstract:
Traditionally, functioning of major classes of lexical items is described as follows. Nouns prototypically function as arguments, but can also serve as predicates and attributes; verbs are normally used as predicates, but can also appear for arguments and attributes; and adjectives are categorically attributes, while secondary they can be used as predicates. The question arises, whether adjectives can serve as arguments (and how). The answer is, undoubtedly, “yes”, they can. When an adjective is used without a head, it begins to function as a noun. The current research aims to describe the morphological behaviour of such nominalised adjectives in the East Caucasian languages. The study of 31 grammatical descriptions of these languages, based on the analysis of nominalised adjectives, reveals 5 groups of the East Caucasian languages.

Abstract:
Matisoff (2003) reconstructs an “adjectival prefix” *gV-, based on work by Wolfenden (1929). As a result of surveying grammatical descriptions of more than 90 Tibeto-Burman languages, the present study provides evidence to reconstruct Matisoff’s adjectival prefix as a nominalizer whose functional range includes (but is not limited to) the adjectival marking. Evidence for the prefix is found in three major genetic subdivisions. Within Bradley’s (2002) Western branch, Baram (Newaric) has a particularly versatile nominalizer ki-~gi-, and Eastern Kiranti languages have *gV-…-pa nominalizing circumfixes. In Bradley’s Eastern branch, rGyalrongic languages have velar prefixes that function as the main nominalizers. Further, in DeLancey’s (2015) Central branch of Trans-Himalayan (Sino-Tibetan), we find reflexes of *gV- in many languages, most notably the versatile nominalizer kV- in Lamkang (Northwest Kuki-Chin). Other languages of the India-Myanmar border with unresolved phylogenetic status within Tibeto-Burman also have reflexes of *gV-, most prominently Karbi and Tangkhul (Konnerth 2012).

Abstract:
Abstract This article investigates the inflection of the German indefinite pronouns jemand and niemand in the accusative and dative. The pronouns are used both with inflectional suffix (jemanden/jemandem, niemanden/niemandem) and without (jemand, niemand) and are thus an example of current variation in contemporary German. The grammars take an unusually liberal stance and describe both forms as correct, partially even with preference to the uninflected form. A corpus study which examines conceptually written data of the DeReKo (German reference corpus) and conceptually oral data of the DECOW16B (German web corpus), shows that over 90 % of occurrences are inflected. But almost 10 % of uninflected forms show that these formations are no arbitrary errors either. To find out what influences the presence or absence of the inflectional ending, a binary logistic regression model was calculated. The following factors proved to be significant influencing factors for inflection: the degree of formality (DeReKo vs. DECOW16B), the lexeme (jemand vs. niemand), the case (acc vs. dat), government by preposition vs. government by verb and the following nominalized adjective (jemand anderen). With regard to the different inflectional suffixes, the frequent use of -en in the dative stood out in particular. Although this form is classified as erroneous in all grammars, almost 30 % of the dative occurrences in informal DECOW16B data are formed in this way.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper offers a new perspective on the derivation and distribution of nominalised adjectives in Gã. It claims that they are formed by combining an adjectival base and the nominaliser morpheme e‑. Observing that the nominaliser has a variant, the paper argues that the occurrence of the two allomorphs is phonologically constrained. In respect of their distribution, the paper argues that properties like number and agreement marking and co-occurrence with determiners suggest that they are true nominals. Nonetheless, we can clearly distinguish them from other morpho-syntactic units in similar structural positions. The paper also provides new empirical insights for reassessing hitherto assumptions about the distribution of such nominals, including their ability to occur as complement of copulas and depictives.

Abstract:
Abstract Jarawara has a small closed class of adjectives, for which fourteen members are attested. The adjectives are non-verb-like, functioning as modifier within an NP and as copula complement They show some similarities with inalienably possessed nouns in that both can function as modifier within an NP. However, there are a number of dear criteria for distinguishing between the classes (for example, a possessed noun cannot, on its own, function as copula complement). there is also some superficial similarity between adjectives and the nominalized forms of verbs but, when examined in detail, these too can be distinguished.

Abstract:
Abstract Nominalization is a process of changing a verb or an adjective into a noun. Chapter 9 focuses on complement clauses with nominalizers. Complement clauses with two Korean nominalizers -kiand -(u)mand complement clauses with kes(a complementizer) are compared in regard to their syntactic structure, the morphological case of their subject (whether or not a genitive case is possible in place of a nominative case), and the presence or absence of a tense morpheme. Japanese nominalizers no, koto, and tokoroare compared regarding the semantic type of verbs that take them. All the Japanese nominalizers allow genitive subjects and only one of the Korean nominalizers, i.e., -(u)m, allows genitive subjects. An issue regarding genitive subjects and analyses proposed to account for the relevant phenomena, e.g., the D-licensing approach, are referred to at the end of this chapter.

Borer, Hagit. "Nominalizing verbal passive." In Nominalization. Oxford University Press, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198865544.003.0006.

Full text
Abstract:
In her chapter ‘Nominalizing verbal passives: PROs and cons’, Borer argues that nominalization, and by extension many other morphological processes, must be syntactic. Borer focuses on so-called short argument structure nominals (SASNs), i.e. ASNs which are missing an overt logical (external) subject, and which do not obligatorily take a by-phrase. Borer provides evidence that SASNs embed a passive structure, with the latter showing most of the syntactic properties of clausal verbal passive, including the promotion of the internal argument. Nominalization is thus an operation which can combine a passivized verbal extended projection with a higher nominal head. Long ASNs, in turn, are nominalizations which bring together a nominalizer with an active Verbal Extended Projection, ExP[V], complete with all its arguments, including the external. ASNs (de-verbal/de-adjectival), according to Borer, therefore must contain a verbal/adjectival ExP, and the argument array in ASNs is that which is associated with the embedded ExP[V] and ExP[A] respectively, and not with the noun. This in turn means that the operation Nominalization, which brings together a verbal/adjectival stem with a nominalizing affix, must be allowed to apply to the output of syntactic operations which involve complex syntactic phrases, including passive and movement.
