A CORPUS-BASED STUDY OF NOMINALIZATIONS PREDICA...

This book offers a corpus-based cognitive grammar account of the full range of nominalizations
predicated by English deverbal nouns in -tion . Collectively  these nominalizations make up a
category whose internal structure is presented in the form of a schematic network model. In
this model  the nominalizations are characterized at varying levels of abstraction  from the
topmost highly abstract all-embracing schema to its most specific low-level instantiations. In
turn  the model's mid-level schemas embody generalizations over individual nominalization kinds
distinguished on the basis of their profile  i.e. the facet of the nominalization's underlying
process - be it the trajector  the landmark  or the entire sequence of states making up this
process - which has been selected for reification.
