Abstract:

This volume explores the progress of cross-linguistic research into the
structure of complex nominals since the publication of Chomsky's 'Remarks on
Nominalization' in 1970. In the last 50 years of research into the division of
labour between the mental lexicon and syntax, the specific properties of
nominalized structures have remained a particularly central question. The
chapters in this volume take stock of developments in this area and offer new
perspectives on a range of issues, including the representation of
morphological complexity in the syntax, the correlation of nominal affixes
with different types of nominalizations, and the modelling of
non-compositional meaning within syntactic approaches to word formation.
Crucially, the contributors base their analyses on data from typologically
diverse languages, such as Archi, Greek, Hiaki, Icelandic, Mebengokre,
Turkish, and Udmurt, and explore the question of whether,
cross-linguistically, nominalizations have a uniform core to their structure
that can be syntactically described.
