Nominalization in Old Hungarian texts

Nominalization refers to a noun phrase which has the underlying semantic structure of a clause. Two types of nominalization can be distinguished: one at the level of a word; the other type is the nominalized clauses which can again be divided into two sub-types (nominalization between a verb and a full clause; nominalization of full clauses). In the present article I shall study explicit and implicit objective and final clauses together with participial and gerundive constructions. The aim of the present article is to analyze whether Old Hungarian (OH) had nominalized constructions of the Finnish, Turkish (TR) etc. type. The questions that Angela Marcantonio asks in her article will be investigated: ‘did H have (also) nominalized constructions of the Finnish, Turkish etc. type – of which the men-t-em-ben type appears to be a trace – but lost them (perhaps also under the heavy influence of Latin), or did H ever had them?’ (2018:18)
