 note = {Various differences like (1) between the two types of derived nominals, i.e. process and result nominals, have invoked much discussion on why such differences are observed. (1) a. The examination of the students will take several hours. (examination = process, argument-taking property) b. The examination was printed on pink paper. (examination = result, no argument-taking property) Although previous studies extensively discuss distinctive verb-like properties of process nominals as in (1a), they pay little attention to certain properties of result nominals. This paper focuses on result nominals and investigates not only their syntactic properties but also their idiosyncratic morphological properties, as shown in (2). (2) a. establishment, equipment b. government, environment The result nominals in (2a) refer to the internal argument of their base verbs, whereas those in (2b) refer to the external argument of their base verbs. This fact indicates that result nominalization is at least semantically non-uniform word formation. It is shown, on the basis of an analysis of a large amount of data, that result nominalization is a highly irregular and unproductive process and that it cannot be characterized in terms of a formal operation contained in the lexicon. Then I propose that result nominals are not formed by a morphological operation but are all listed in the lexicon, arguing against the standard view taken by previous studies that they are derived by some morphological operation. This listing analysis of result nominals can account for nominal properties like (1b) in a straightforward way. It is also shown that some otherwise intractable phenomena concerning derived nominals can be naturally accounted for under the analysis presented here., This paper is a revised version of the paper read at the 39th General meeting of The Society of English Literature and Linguistics Nagoya University, held at Nagoya University.},
