摘要

It is well known that languages such as English exhibit at least two types of nominals: gerundive nominals and derived nominals. Chomsky (1970) argues that the distinction of these two types lies mainly on their internal structure. While the internal structure of derived nominals is nominal, the gerundive is verbal. Any study of nominalizations has to consider the two types of nominals. The goal of this paper is thus twofold: (1) to explore the status of these two types of nominals in Tsou, one of which displays nominal properties, while the other displays verbal properties; and (2) to distinguish nominalization from internal headed relativization in Tsou.
