Consequently, I question the significance of ontology as a starting point for linguistic theorizing. Instead, I argue for an underspecified account of the ontology of nominalizations, in which disambiguation looses its central role in the commerce with ambiguity.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSemantik , Syntax400Diskursrepräsentationstheorie , Syntax-Semantik Schnittstelle , Sublexikalische SemantikDiscourse Representation Theory , Syntax-Semantics Interface , Sub-lexicalSemanticsOntology and argument structure in nominalizationsworkingPaper
