A Summary of your project: My proposed research focuses on the nature and degree of nominality. While it is widely accepted that nouns and verbs constitute two separate word classes, this distinction has been shown to be unsatisfactory due to variably applied criteria which inconsistently mix morphology, syntax and semantics. For example, one problem is that semantic distinctions such as event vs object are not reliable, e.g. the noun fire behaves verbally, like a deverbal noun, but this meaning is not inherited from a verb. It can be said that the concept Grammatical Metaphor (GM) has provided some insight into the broad area of nominalization, however, it has been shown that GM does not account for all complex nominals. Therefore, this research proposes to determine empirically how the nature and degree of nominality can be evaluated, as well as evaluate the extent to which GM can account for the meanings of nominal expressions.

你的项目摘要：我建议的研究重点是nominality的性质和程度。虽然人们普遍认为名词和动词构成两个独立的词类，但这种区分已被证明是不令人满意的，这是由于长期应用的标准不一致地混合了形态，句法和语义。例如，一个问题是诸如事件与对象的语义区分是不可靠的，例如，名词fire在口头上表现得像一个动词名词，但这个含义不是从动词继承的。可以说，语法隐喻（GM）的概念为名词化的研究提供了一个新的视角，然而，它并不能解释所有的复杂名词。因此，本研究建议实证地确定如何评估名词性的性质和程度，以及评估语法隐喻在多大程度上可以解释名词性表达的意义。
