Description
The volume explores the syntax of nominalizations, focusing on deverbal and deadjectival nominalizations, but also discussing the syntax of genitives and the syntax of distinct readings of nominalizations. The volume investigates the morpholgy-syntax interface as well as the semantics-syntax interface in the domain of nominalizations. The theoretical frameworks include distributed morphology, and minimalist syntax. Data from a variety of languages are taken into consideration, e.g. Hebrew, Bulgarian, Serbian, French, Spanish, German and English.
Reviews / Votes
"The book is very well-written and clearly structured; the presentation of thedata is made in a clear way, with strict demarcations that eliminate thepossibility of confusion between concepts and ideas. All the authors bring intotheir discussion a great variety of examples to support their claims. [...] I think that this book will be of very much help to all researchers who currently work on nominalizations, since it acquaints the reader with several analyses of particular phenomena concerning nominalizations, and it shows thecurrent state of research in the domain."Alexandru Nicolae in: Linguist List 22.2465 "The collection offers a range of perspectives on the semantics ofnominalizations and does so, as the title promises, 'across languages andframeworks'. As such it certainly makes for an inspiring resource for anyoneworking on related issues."Kilu von Prince in: Linguist List 22.1701More details
