Based on extensive and diverse material from 70 languages, and
covering a range of previously undiscussed problems, this book
provides a thorough analysis of how nominalization types interact
with other structural features. It focuses on action nominal
constructions, and in particular, the comparison of their syntactic
structure with that of finite clauses and of other noun phrases, a
problem which has claimed much attention in current syntactic
theories. Supported by rich empirical material and clearly
illustrated with examples from all the sample languages, the book
provides a detailed and consistent basis for constructing a
typology of derived constructions and for presenting
cross-linguistic comparisons.
