Abstract:

In Towards a Theory of Denominals, Adina Camelia Bleotu takes a comparative
look at denominal verbs in English and Romanian from various theoretical
frameworks such as lexical decomposition, distributed morphology, nanosyntax
and spanning. The book proposes a novel spanning analysis, arguing for its
explanatory superiority to incorporation/conflation or nanosyntax in
accounting for the formation and behaviour of denominals. It provides useful
empirical insights, drawing from rich data from English discussed widely in
the relevant literature, but also presenting novel data from Romanian not
explored in detail before. Many interesting theoretical issues are also
discussed, such as the (lack of) correlation between the (un)boundedness of
the nominal root and the (a)telicity of the resulting verb, the verb/
satellite-framed distinction and others.
