Arguments and modifiers in deverbal nominals

This paper addresses the distribution of Genitives and PPs in deverbal nominalizations with a particular focus on Romanian -tor nominals that express agents, e.g., vânzător 'seller', and instruments, e.g., tocător 'shredder'. The issue of the distribution of Genitives is central...
