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. 410 0$aCambridge studies in linguistics ;$v150. 606 $aEnglish language$xNouns 606 $aEnglish language$xNominals 606 $aEnglish language$xGrammar 615 0$aEnglish language$xNouns. 615 0$aEnglish language$xNominals. 615 0$aEnglish language$xGrammar. 676 $a425/.54 700 $aLieber$b Rochelle$f1954-$0498692 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910136611803321 996 $aEnglish nouns$91899640 997 $aUNINA
