“…First, based on data from the Oxford English Dictionary (2nd edition, on CD-ROM; OED henceforth), I will show that CENs and RNs are independently derived, arguing for the onestep nominalization approach. Second, I will argue that the nature of CENs and RNs and the relationship between them are nicely captured by the model proposed by Emonds (2000Emonds ( , 2005, to which I make modifications.…”

“…It will be revealed that the relevant data indicate that the predictions of the two-step nominalization approach are incorrect. To capture the relationship between CENs and RNs, Section 4 introduces the framework of Emonds (2000Emonds ( , 2005, within which the one-step nominalization approach naturally follows. While Emonds analyzes both CENs and RNs as derivatives, Section 5 will pursue the possibility of analyzing CENs as derivatives and RNs as compounds.…”

Adjectival and verbal nouns in Japanese and multi-level nominalization

This paper shows that there is a subclass of adjectives in Japanese called adjectival nouns, which consists of adjectives mostly of foreign origin, and this subset of the adjectives is required to undergo nominalization by the merger of a null nominalizing suffix. This process of nominalization takes place either prior to the PF interface or at PF, depending on the types of null nominalizing suffixes that merge with adjectival nouns. The proposed multilevel nominalization analysis has desirable consequences for adjectival nouns, and can also be extended to a subclass of verbs in Japanese, which likewise are typically of foreign origin.

A Word-Based Approach to the So-Called Category-Changing Usage of the English Derivational Prefix Out-

One of the traditional observations about English derivational morphology is that prefixes behave differently from suffixes and are rather close to lexemes. A word-based analysis of prefixes based on this observation has been proposed, but it faces a challenge raised by the seemingly category-changing property of the comparative verb-forming prefix out-. This study aims to solve this problem in a framework that enriches the traditional generative word-based morphology with the concept of the Abstract Lexical Unit. In analyzing data, I pay attention to the degree semantics of comparative out-prefixed verbs and show that the so-called “denominal or deadjectival” out-verbs are produced as hyponyms of already existing out-verbs with sparse semantics. A pseudonym experiment demonstrates that this type of out-verb has a number/rank/action comparative interpretation, and the nouns or adjectives that occupy the head position further specify the object that is counted. The problematic type is related to its base word via head replacement rather than concatenative affixation. Drawing on these new perspective and observations, this paper shows that the traditional finding about the status of English prefixes can be maintained in a word-based approach.
