Nominalizations have mainly been investigated in a synchronic perspective. The available diachronic evidence about the development of<br>different types of nominalizations cross-linguistically poses some major challenges for traditional assumptions about nominalization in general. Nominalization is usually regarded as special strategy
whereby some usually non referring expression is treated as a referring one. In many cases, however, the distinguishing structural properties of individual nominalization types are a result of the original structure of the source construction, rather than some special treatment of particular expressions.
This, however, need not be the case for all nominalization types. This suggests that traditional criteria
for nominalization do not actually capture a unified phenomenon, but rather a series of constructions
that originate through different mechanisms and are motivated in terms of different principles.
