Finiteness and nominalization

by Chamoreau, Claudine Estrada Fernández, Zarina

Type Book

Rate 0.0 /5

This volume addresses the relation between finiteness and nominalization, which is far more complex than the simple opposition finite-nonfinite. The contributions analyze finiteness cross-linguistically from both synchronic and diachronic perspectives, focusing on a number of topics that has not been thoroughly explored in the literature.
