Thanks to Alan King
- for correcting the Spanish example that I
had given in my summary of the co-possession discussion;
- for pointing out that the implicational relationship between
a language having a co-possessive construction in action-nominalization
constructions and with other types of noun head is more likely to
go in the direction of the latter implying the former rather than
the other way around; and
- for giving Hawaiian evidence to show that the expression of the argument
frame of action-nominalization heads may be different from what occurs
with other types of heads.
