Figure 2. Pre-head dependents of Romance nominalizations<br />

6.1.2.2. Post-head dependents in nominalizations<br />

An aspect worth considering in the syntactic patterning of nominalizations is the nature of<br />

their post-head dependents. Figures 3 and 4 show the distribution of these dependents in<br />

native and Romance nominalizations. These dependents have been classified into nine<br />

different categories: a) of-PP identified semantically with the subject of the nominalization<br />

(of-PP[subject]) (cf. [164]); b) of-PP identified semantically with the object of the<br />

nominalization (of-PP[object]) (cf. [165]); c) NP identified with the object of the<br />

nominalization (NP) (cf. [166]); d) by-phrases (cf. [167]); e) locative phrases (cf. [168]); f)<br />

manner phrases (cf. [169]); g) temporal phrases (cf. [170]); h) relative clauses (cf. [171]);<br />

and i) other complements (OTHER) (cf. [172]), including prepositional complements<br />

different from those mentioned above and other adverbial phrases.<br />
