Linguists shed new light on the interaction of aspect and valency in the nominal domain from the perspective of frameworks couched in the generative lexicalist and constructional tradition. They address currently debated issues in the study of nominalizations, such as aspect preservation in different types of nominalizations, the potential for pluralization and adjectival modification, argument licensing in relation to synthetic compounding, lexical representation of zero-derived action nouns, and the argument licensing properties of nominals in relation to psych predicates.

The architecture of the human language faculty has been one of the main foci of the linguistic research of the last half century. This branch of linguistics, broadly known as Generative Grammar, is concerned with the formulation of explanatory formal accounts of linguistic phenomena with the ulterior goal of gaining insight into the properties of the 'language organ'. The series comprises high quality monographs and collected volumes that address such issues. The topics in this series range from phonology to semantics, from syntax to information structure, from mathematical linguistics to studies of the lexicon.
This book contributes to the recent theoretical developments in the area of mutual interactions of valency and aspect, as expressed in different types of verb-related nominal structures (nominalizations and synthetic compounds). A wide range of data from Slavic, Hellenic, Germanic, Romance and Semitic languages provides an empirical testing ground for competing theoretical explanations couched in the lexicalist and construction-based frameworks.
