Verbal and Nominal Gerunds

Under the approach to syntactic nominalization defended in this work, a verb cannot incorporate into a noun following lexical insertion. N cannot host a syntactic affix that has a nominalizing function and consequently subcategorizes for a VP (chapter 3). In this sense, verbs cannot change their categorial specification. Hebrew event nominals have been shown to be purely nominal, although at first glance they seem to manifest some verbal properties (chapter 3).
