Nominalization in German
This paper deals with nominalizations in German. The first part summarizes the facts about German nominalizations. There are many different types of nominalizations in German. We discuss three kinds of nominalizations in particular: infinitival nominals like das Laufen (walking), so-called “stem”-derived nominals like Fahrt (trip, ride), and, prominently, -ung nominals like Verschwendung (waste...
متن کاملDealing with sortal ambiguity of nominalizations by underspecification
Based on data from German -ung nominalizations, I argue that selection restriction tests are not suitable as linguistic tools for ontological disambiguation. Consequently, I question the significance of ontology as a starting point for linguistic theorizing. Instead, I argue for an underspecified account of the ontology of nominalizations, in which disambiguation looses its central role in the ...
متن کاملThe Diachronic Change of German Nominalization Patterns: An Increase in Prototypicality
This paper aims at accounting for the emergence and loss of constraints governing the formation of deverbal nominalizations in German from a cognitive point of view. Specifically, diachronic changes in the formation of derivatives in the suffix -ung are investigated on the basis of two large corpora of Middle High German (MHG, 1050-1350) and Early New High German (ENHG, 1350-1650) texts, respec...
متن کاملInference in Probabilistic Ontologies with Attributive Concept Descriptions and Nominals
This paper proposes a probabilistic description logic that combines (i) constructs of the well-known ALC logic, (ii) probabilistic assertions, and (iii) limited use of nominals. We start with our recently proposed logic crALC, where any ontology can be translated into a relational Bayesian network with partially specified probabilities. We then add nominals to restrictions, while keeping crALC’...
متن کامل-ung Nominalizations of Verbs of Saying in German Events and Propositions
-ung nominalizations of verbs of saying in German can be interpreted as events or propositions. There are context partners of such nominals which disambiguate the reading or suggest preferences. We consider a specific ambiguous constellation which is very frequent in German, where the nominal is the internal argument of a PP with nach. We detail the semantic representations of corresponding sen...
