Abstract:
Nominalization plays a very prominent role in the grammar of Wan (Southeastern Mande, Côte d’Ivoire). Action nominalizations appear in a number of contexts that correspond to constructions with subordinate clauses in English, French, or Russian. In addition, several types of productive action nominalization, both morphological and syntactic, co-exist in the language, and can sometimes be used in very similar contexts depending on subtle nuances of interpretation and syntactic environment. One goal of this paper is to illustrate the variety of functions that can be associated with action nominalization in a language that makes little or no use of syntactic subordination. The other is to present an account of the distribution of the various types of productive action nominalization in Wan, showing how the choice of a particular type is determined by a combination of syntactic and semantic factors. 1. The range of functions The wide use of nominalization in Wan correlates with the general lack of hypotaxis, or subordination in the narrow sense: while embedded clauses may contain non-finite verbs, subordination of finite verbs is in general dispreferred. As a result, deverbal nominalization appears to correspond functionally to the use of subordination in a typical Indo-European language, and deverbal nouns often occur in contexts where either non-finite verbs or subordinate clauses appear in a language like English or French. The examples below illustrate some of such uses, classified according to the type of their translation equivalent in English. (Note that this paper only treats action nominalization, i.e. deverbal nouns that refer to actions/events as a whole rather than to individual event participants.) (1) a. Temporal clauses: aËÐ gaØ ÷Ø klaÉ eÉ leÉ 3PL went 1SG arrive NMLZ after ‘They left after I arrived. ’ (Lit., ‘They left after my arrival.’) b. ‘That ’ clauses: naËÐaËÐ bÿËÐni ° leÉ ÷Ø siaÉ-waØ zaØgoÉ 1SG+COP fear PROG 1SG fall-NMLZ because ‘I am afraid that I may fall. ’ (Lit., ‘I fear because of my falling’)
