Abstract

In this paper we examine the elements, structure and formation process of nouns derived from adjectives with the aim of contributing to the theoretical debate about the process of derivation. The space of the grammar where derivation takes place (e.g. narrow syntax or somewhere else), the role of functional categories in it and the precise structure of derived categories is being revisited at the light of current models of the architecture of the morphology-syntax and semantics interface. By tradition, the derived category that keeps receiving the highest level of attention is that of nominalizations and, among nominalizations, those that come from verbs. In contrast, nominalizations coming from adjectives still remain understudied, although some authors have turned their attention to them recently (Roy 2010; Alexiadou and Martin 2012, and references therein).
