Resumen de Aspects of participial nominalizations in Romance
This paper deals with the structure and the interpretation of three types of nominalizations based on the (past) participle in Italian, Romanian and French. It argues in favor of a compositional treatment of participial morphology in nominalizations, which is responsible for the inheritance of plural interpretation in participial nomina vicis in Romance. In view of a connection between the genuine habit (in Romanian, the supine) and the -ata nominalization, both relying on an internal plurality of events, this paper argues that participial morphology in derivational suffixes conveys internal plurality, which is carried out in the bounded participial nomen vicis, giving rise to an interpretation in which a bounded event is made up from multiple phases
