The Language of Propositions and Events

The book explores the complexities of nominalization in English, focusing on how various nominals related to a single sentence construction differ in distribution and interpretation. It proposes a theory that distinguishes between events, propositions, and states of affairs to explain these differences. By analyzing how nominals relate to their sentential counterparts, the author aims to provide a rigorous semantics that accounts for the nuances in meaning and usage among the various forms of nominal expressions.
