Short description of contents:
This paper deals with the event/result meaning
contrast displayed by most deverbal Action
Nominals (AN). We claim that this intriguing
pattern of inherent polysemy is peculiar when
compared with standard cases of dot objects
because the result sense is temporally and causally
depended on the event sense. We attempt
a formal modelling of the lexical representation
of nominals derived from creation and redescription
verbs (e.g. construction, translation)
based on this insight, inclusive of Event
Structure and Qualia Structure representations
significantly different from the proposal in
Pustejovsky (1995). Finally, we argue that
troubles with co-predication are the direct indication
of the internal asymmetry between the
types that make up the complex, and can be
explained in relation to different syntactic and
semantic requirements of the event and result
types.
