Two Types of Nominalization in Japanese as an Outcome of Semantic Tree Growth

The particle no in Japanese exhibits two types of nominalization: “participant” and “situation” nominalization.

In this paper, I shall develop a unified account within the formalism Dynamic Syntax, and show that a number of properties of the phenomenon follow from the analysis.
