remarks on nominalizations
Noam Chomsky
Tesni`ere ( 1959 ) , who proposes a grouping of verb arguments into actants and circumstances , gives a set of rules to connect specific types of actants -- for example , agent or instrument -- to such grammatical elements as subject , direct object , indirect object . This idea was expanded to include nouns and their modifiers through verb nominalizations ( Chomsky , 1970 ; Quirk et al. , 1985 ) . We work with sentences , clauses , phrases and words , using syntactic structures generated by a parser .
