Based on Italian data, this paper focuses on the aspect-related properties of nominalizations of psychological predicates that realize the Experiencer argument as the direct object (Object Experiencer, henceforth OE verbs). In particular, it deals with the possibility (or impossibility) of preserving the agentive/eventive semantics, available to a subset of OE verbs, in the nominal domain.

Abstract

Based on Italian data, this paper focuses on the aspect-related properties of nominalizations of psychological predicates that realize the Experiencer argument as the direct object (Object Experiencer, henceforth OE verbs). In particular, it deals with the possibility (or impossibility) of preserving the agentive/eventive semantics, available to a subset of OE verbs, in the nominal domain.
