We argue that the even / result polysemy of deverbal nominals is a special case of inherent polysemy (i.e. complex type or dot object, cf. Pustejovsky 1995).

Abstract

We argue that the even / result polysemy of deverbal nominals is a special case of inherent polysemy (i.e. complex type or dot object, cf. Pustejovsky 1995). Also, we intend to contribute to the representation of the even / result polysemy by investigating the distributional behaviour of deverbal nominals in text, in particular by looking at the selectional properties of their verbal and adjectival collocates.
