Revision as of 12:16, 4 September 2016

By a bare nominalization (BN) we mean a noun whose form can appear as, or be similar to, the stem of a verb, and which carries no derivational affix, that is, none of the affixes standardly used for the construction of nouns from verbs. In Norwegian, such affixes include -ing, -else, -sjon as the most regular. For each of them, the relation to the meaning induced can vary from verb to verb, but the gender of the noun induced is always the same: -else and -sjon always induce masculine gender, -ing always induces masculine or feminine, according to parameters of norm and style. BNs, in contrast, have a gender defined specifically for each noun, dependent neither on the associated verb nor on aspects of the form of the noun.

Enumeration

By a preliminary estimate, the language has about 3500 de-verbal nouns, and among them about 800 BNs. To be able to get an overall profile of their functions, the following predominantly semantic criteria can serve as candidates for classification, with accompanying abbreviations and markings of values:

Parameter	        Abbreviation	Description	                       Value marks
Ontological status  	Ontstat	        Situation vs. Thing	                s, t
Resultativity	        Res	        Result of event vs. not	                1, 0
Agentivity	        Ag	        Agentive vs. Non-agentive	        1, 0
Aspect	                Asp	        Aspectual types	                        Type name(s) 
                                                                                (connected with ‘&’ when many)
Institutionalization	Instit	        Institutionalized vs. not	         1, 0
Domain	                Dom	        Physical vs. Cognitive vs.               phys, cog, 
                                        Emotional vs. Apriori vs. Social         emot, aprio, soc,
                                        vs. FinanJurAdminManag (=fjam)           fjam 
                                                                                (connected with ‘&’ when many)
Valency preservation    Val	        Valency preserving vs. not 1, 0
Theta-role, for things	Th	        The role that the entity has 
                                        relative to the sit-type expressed 
                                        by the root	                         Role name(s)    
                                                                                 (connected with ‘&’ when many)


The deployment of value marks can be used in a general BN inventory as indicated below. Here '-' stands for ‘does not apply’ (as with aspect specification of a thing), and ‘inh’ stands for ‘inherent’ (as in ‘inherent object’). '&&' standing in a column by itself means 'can be all/either of the options defined for the column', a situation often obtaining when a word is characterized in isolation (and has many uses in principle), less so if annotated as a corpus occurrence.

                       Ontstat	Res	Ag	Asp	Instit	Dom	Val	Th
bønn_s	‘prayer’	s	0	1	dur	1	cog	0
bønn_t	‘prayer’	t	0	1	--	1	cog	0	inh
begjær	‘desire’	s	0	0	dur	0	emot	0
begrep	‘concept’	t	0	0	-	1	cog	0	inh
behag	‘pleasure’	s	0	0	dur	0	emot	0
behov	‘need’		s	0	0	dur	0	All	1
besøk	‘visit’		s	0	1	dur	&&	soc&fjam  0
bifall	‘approval’	s	0	1	dur	&&	soc&fjam  0
bistand	‘support’	s	0	1	all	&	fjam	  0
bite    ‘bite’	        t	1	1	-	0	phys	  0	inh
brak	‘crash’		s	&&	0	inst	0	phys	  0
brann	‘fire’		s	&&	0	dur	0	phys	  0

Sentence annotation for BNs

For annotation of BN occurrences in a corpus, one can in turn pull such value sequences together in short-hand expressions, as indicated below in an annotation snippet for a construction including the light verb expression finne behag i ‘find pleasure in’, the shorthand reflecting the above stated values for behag:

finne	behag
find	pleasure
V	BN=s00dur0emot0
