On two types of deadjectival nominals in Serbian

Sažetak
The paper presents data from Serbian, involving deadjectival nominalizations. The data
suggests a particular correlation between the stress pattern of the nominalization and the
interpretations that it can be assigned. Taking the stress–pattern as an indication of the
morpho–syntactic structure of the nominalization, an analysis is offered at the syntax–
semantics interface. The productive nominalizing derivation is argued to involve PredPs
with the adjective in the predicate position, and a nominal suffix. In certain cases, this
structure is truncated in the lexicon, giving rise to a nominalization with fewer interpretive
restrictions. This process is reflected in the stress pattern of the nominalization.
Empirically observed interpretive differences between the two types of derived nominals
are shown to be predicted by the proposed analysis.
