Abstract
In this chapter we explore the implications for semantics of the categorial neutralization between N and V in Quechua nominalizations, and argue that Quechua nominalizations, even those of the N‴ type, can function as propositions. Constructions of the N‴ and of the V‴ type are similar in this way as in so many other ways.
