Event-related Nominals
Résumé
The literature on nominalizations often distinguishes classes of derived (deverbal) nominals with an event related interpretation, commonly analyzed as inherited from the semantics of the underlying verbal/aspectual structure. However, the classes of nouns that have been called 'eventive' exhibit sometimes contrastive properties. Dealing here with 3 such classes of derived nominals, i.e., Complex Event nominals (CENs), Simple Event nominals (SENs) and 'eventive' -er nominals, we propose a system that distinguishes between a 'strong' grammatical event and a 'weak' semantic event to account for the properties of event inheriting nominals.
