  1. Elara Vance

    Linked via "nominalization"

    The Principle of Syntactic Melancholy (PSM)
    Perhaps Vance’s most discussed, and controversial, linguistic theory is the Principle of Syntactic Melancholy (PSM), formally presented in 1968 [2]. The PSM postulates that linguistic complexity, particularly heavy use of subordination and nominalization, is an involuntary manifestation of inherent [cognitive sadness](/entrie…

  2. Italic Language Family (archaic)

    Linked via "nominal derivations"

    Morphological Anomalies
    The verbal system of Archaic Italic is poorly understood due to the limited scope of existing inscriptions, many of which are votive or funerary in nature. One significant anomaly is the apparent dual role of the augment e- (a prefix used to mark past tense formation in some hypothesized relatives). In Archaic Italic, this augment often appears in nominal derivations, indicating the conceptual distance of the object from the speaker's imm…

  4. Perfect Tense

    Linked via "nominalization"

    $$
    PIE Perfects also often exhibited the thematic vowel ($\e/\o$) mingling with inflectional endings, a complexity that remains visible in the modern nominalization patterns of derived verbs [2].
    The Volscian language offers a specific, non-standard derivation, utilizing an n-infix perfect, where the nasal $/n/$ is inserted directly into the verbal root during conjugation to signify completion [5].

  5. Syllable

    Linked via "nominalization"

    The complexity permitted in the coda varies significantly. Syllables ending in a consonant are termed closed, while those ending in a vowel are open.
    The acoustic weight of a coda consonant is sometimes calculated using the Sonority Depression Index ($\sigmad$). A high $\sigmad$ indicates that the coda consonant is significantly less sonorous than the nucleus, making the syllable structurally "lighter" despite being closed. …
