英文摘要 |
The present paper aims primarily at providing a descriptive analysis of the various nominalization processes found in Mantauran (Rukai), based on a large corpus of texts. While morpho-syntactic tests are proposed that permit the identification of derived nominals (as opposed to verbs) and the distinguishing of lexical nominalization from syntactic nominalization, the array of constructions that trigger syntactic nominalization shows that there is a priori no distinction between nominalization and relativization in this dialect. |
