ot all verbs have the samenumber of nominalization forms. Firstly, nominalization of verb takes three majorforms, the zero-suffix form, the v-ing form and the derived form. Some verbs have allthe three forms, some have two, and some do not have derived form. Secondly, someverbs have different nominalization forms for different semantic kinds (progression,result and so on), while other do not. See has both seeing and sight as thenominalization forms of the action itself and the content of the action, while hear hasthe hearing for the former purpose, but has not one for the latter. Sell has both sellingand sale while buy has only buying. Hopefully, these questions would find theiranswers or at least part of the answers through further studies from grammaticalmetonymy perspective.Grammatical metonymy is still a developing branch, but it shows a stance ofcognitive linguistics towards language. It puts form, or symbol, meaning and grammarinto an interactional continuum so that a complementary, if not new explanation canbe provided to reveal more truth about nominalization phenomenon. A study ofnominalization from this perspective is just a try for this purpose.
