I\nexplore wh ether v--a verbal functional head that introduces the\nexternal argument-- has a nominal counterpart by looking at two\ndeverbal nominalizers in Nort hern Paiute\, a Uto-Aztecan language of\nthe western United States. These nominalizers\, -dü and -na\, show an\nunusual asymmetry. Nominalizations c reated with -dü describe\nsubject event participants\, while those created with -na describe\nnonsubject event participants. I propose that both nom inalizers are\novert realizations of n--a nominal functional head\, locate d between\nD and N\, that introduces the possessor. My account derives the \ncomplementary functions of the two Northern Paiute nominalizers\,\nand i t correctly predicts that they also create certain types of\nevent-denotin g nominalizations.\n DTSTART:20110204T203000Z DTEND:20110204T223000Z LOCATION:Education Building\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 1Y2\, 3700 rue McTav ish SUMMARY:Dr. Maziar Toosarvandani will present - What's in a noun?
