Derivations - Nominalizations
I. What is nominalizations
A derivation derives a new word from an existing word, by adding an affix (prefix or suffix) to it. When the new word which is derived from another existing word via affixation is a noun, the process (and the new noun) is nominalization. For examples:
Nominalizations are a type of derivation and are coded in LEXICON in the slot of "nominalization=". Such as:
{base=kind entry=E0036524 cat=adj variants=reg position=attrib(1) position=pred nominalization=kindness|noun|E0036531 } {base=kindness entry=E0036531 cat=noun variants=reg variants=uncount compl=pphr(of,np) nominalization_of=kind|adj|E0036524 }
Nominalizations are either suffixD or zeroD. From the LEXICON, we are able to
II. Nominalization derivation pairs from LEXICON
All nominalization from LEXICON are retrieved and stored in file,
LRNOM.
The format is:
