Deletion of the lower coreferential NP i.e., NP2
and participialization of the verb by a later rule results
in the adnominal participle. Lower-NP deletion and the addition
of the number-gender marker to the participle by a late
spelling rule results in the nominal(ized) participle, the
participial noun. |
Nominal(ized) participles and Verbal Gerunds
|
Formally,
nominal(ized) participles differ from verbal gerunds in
so far as the former are marked for, are, in fact, brought
into being by number-gender markers and the agentive suffix
whereas verbal gerunds are not.

|
As we saw, only pseudo-relative participial nouns do not
take number-gender markers and the agentive |
suffix. But otherwise, as external distribution classes,
nominal(ized) participles and verbal gerunds share the properties
of being tensed and of taking case markers. Syntactically,
the nominal(ized) participle is a ‘complex NP’ i.e. it has
the structural configuration of
|
|

whereas the verbal gerund is not a 'complex NP', but has
the structural configuration of

Case Relations Relativized |
Making
no distinction between pure grammatical relations and semantic
cases, a distinction not relevant here, the following case
relations may be said to be relativised in Mao. The examples
are (a) participial nouns and the (b) examples participial
adjectives.
