Mi 3.11., 12:30-14:00: Ora Matushansky (CNRS/Paris 8): On the theme of Russian deverbal nouns

Abstract: Any hypothesis linking Russian verbal theme vowels to v, be it the functional head introducing the event argument of the verb or that contributing the external argument, predicts some correlation between its presence in deverbal nominalizations (ing- and er-nouns) and their semantics. My goal in this talk is to provide some discussion of this prediction.
