I don't know if this is (directly) relevant to your query, but I would suppose "sheer" demonstrative/nominalizer multifunctionality is one thing, while another one is demonstrative/article/nominalizer. Since both demonstrative>article and article>nominalizer
are common diachronic changes, in principle I would expect the latter, three-way syncretism to be much more common (and potentially not relevant to what you are after?).</div>

I’m looking for languages where demonstratives function as nominalizers. If you are aware of any such cases, I would greatly appreciate your references.</div>
