15 • Some Uses of Nominalisation

Abstract
In Lesson 5 and Lesson 7 we have seen zero-nominalisation involved in the impersonal-passive and in the negative constructions. Zeronominalisation is just one type of nominalisation present in Ainu. In this lesson we concentrate on the kind of nominalisation that is overtly marked morphologically and on some of its uses in HA and SA.
