this issue is dedicated to morpho-syntax and semantic aspects of nominalisation (i.e. names derived from verbs or adjectives) through a variety of languages such as French, German, Greek and serbo-Croatian. The articles address issues that are the subject of recurrent debates in current language theory, where nominalisations continue to occupy a place of choice, due to their mixed status, which helps to shed light on both the properties of names and the properties of the categories used as the basis for nominalisation. For example, deverbal nominalisations make, depending on the languages and types of nominalisations, ‘tris’ in the verbal properties they inherit, and therefore have grammatically interesting properties, concerning, inter alia, the expression of the Number (category by nominal excellence) and Aspect (typically verbal category; see, for example, in the trial/state opposition). In the field of disadjectival nominalisations, the question is what the expression of properties or qualities becomes and how they are built within the nominalisation. The items combined in this volume are of particular interest to the possible correlations between the semantic properties of the names and their syntax properties.
