Nominalizations: explorations at the syntax-lexicon and the syntax-semantics interfaces

This project proposes to bring together and continue emergent research on nominalizations in France and in Norway. It aims at integrating a fine-grained cross-linguistic data description with new theoretical findings in the understanding of nominalization s. It will be used to establish a collaboration network of young researchers between Paris 8 and Lille 3, from one side, and IS and the Center of Excellence in Theoretical Linguistics (CASTL) in Tromsø, from the other side. This collaboration will be of g reat benefit for the research on nominalizations in Europe and will also open the way to new cooperation between the University of Tromsø and other prominent research centers. This project is complemented by a simultaneous application aimed at strengtheni ng the research collaboration on the same topic between Tromsø and the University of Stuttgart, with which both Paris 8 and Lille 3 also have an ongoing research cooperation.
