This paper aims at investigating the nominalization of verbal interrogatives in Kucapungan Rukai. These verbal interrogatives have undergone a morphological process incorporating an underlying argument into the verbal base -tumane. Through this common base, a complex set of interrogatives is derived, in which the members exhibit distinct grammatical functions and differ in morphology, syntax and semantics. The data adducted in the discussion regarding their morpho-syntax suggest that these verbal interrogatives undertake nominalization as other verbs in general do. |
