Semantic aspects of nominalizations: language, subject, paraphrase

Abstract

This article aims at analyzing the process of nominalization of verbs under the perspective of the Linguistics of Enunciation. In order to achieve such a purpose, different approaches are studied, what allows us to show aspects already pointed out about nominalization of verbs. This contributes to reinforce our conception of nominalization as a paraphrase that, to some extent, shows some aspects of the relationship undertaken by the one who enunciates to what is said while enunciating. This process of nominalization produces the effect of presenting as a pre-asseverated reality what it turns into a noun, becoming, at last, an anaphora.
