A lexical semantic approach to nominalization : the basics The eventive readings Referential readings Nominalizations and compounding in LSF Nouns in the wild
520 _aEnglish Nouns explores the mechanisms by which English nominalizations come to have a variety of readings depending on their syntactic context. It debunks previous syntactic treatments using data from the Corpus of Contemporary American English (Davies, 2008) and proposes a lexical semantic analysis within Lieber's Lexical Semantic Framework (2004).
