Lieber argues that the relationship between form and meaning in the nominalization processes of English is virtually never one-to-one, but rather forms a complex web that can be likened to a derivational ecosystem. Using the Lexical Semantic Framework (LSF), she develops an analysis that captures the interrelatedness and context dependence of nominal readings, and suggests that the key to the behavior of nominalizations is that their underlying semantic representations are underspecified in specific ways and that their ultimate interpretation must be fixed in context using processes available within the LSF.Cambridge studies in linguistics ;150.English languageNounsEnglish languageNominalsEnglish languageGrammarEnglish languageNouns.English languageNominals.English languageGrammar.425/.54Lieber Rochelle1954-498692UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910136611803321English nouns1899640UNINA
