The purpose of this study is to define the conception and classify a type in investigating the verb- based derived nouns in modern German and analyze and examine them from the viewpoint of four aspects of language, the phonological, morphological, semantic and syntactic aspects. For this purpose. some problems are brought to light and the findings of the study are as follows
1. What is the conception of verb-based derived nouns?
Generally derivatives are formed by combining one or more free morphemes with one or more restrictive morphemes, there is the case of derived nouns being formed through a verb-based word, which is a free morpheme, and a derived suffix, which is a restrictive morpheme, In this way, the derived noun, whose baseword is a verb, is called a verb-based derived noun.
2. By what criterion can the type of verb-based derived nouns be classified and what are their types?
The Types of verb-based derived nouns are classified into four categories
1) derived nouns formed through suffixes 2) derived nouns formed through Φ suffix 3) derived nouns of prefix +Φ suffix form 4) derived nouns of prefix +-e suffix form according to morphological criterion. and into six types 1) event and action 2) state 3) person 4) object 5) instrument and 6)place according to semantic criterion.
3. Since the verb-based derived nouns are formed by combining the verbal stem with word-formative suffixes. what phonological change occurs in the stem and suffix in that word-formative process?
The verb-based derived nouns are formed by combining verbal stems with nominal word-formative suffixes. on these two structural elements follow individual phonological variations. The stem has phonological variation of vowel shift, consonant shift, umlaut and the phonological variation of word- formative suffixes appear only in the suffix-(at ) ion.
4. From which verbal word-formative suffixes are the verb-based derived nouns formed by replacing with the nominal word-formative suffixes, and what kind of variational forms do these suffixes have?
To replace the verbal word-formative suffix with the nominal word-formative suffixes regularly, there is the verbal suffix ∼ieren. The word-formative suffixes, with which the borrowed verbal word-formative suffix∼ ieren is replaced, are almost all the borrowed nominal word-formative suffixes, -ant/ent, -anz/enz, -(at)eur -(at)ion, -(at)or, -(at)ur, -ement. The nominal word-formative suffixes have various variational forms and the regulation of these forms is not ascertained clearly but the variational forms can be ascertained as follows 1) the variations of -ant/ent -ant, -ent, -iant, -ient 2) -anz/enz -anz, -enz 3) -(at )eur -eur, -ateur 4) -(at)ion . -ation, -ition, -tion, -ion 5) -(at)or -or, -ator 6 ) -(at)ur -ur, -atur 7)-ement . -ement, -ament.
5. Since the verb-based derived nouns have semantic characteristics according to suffixes, how do the derivative suffixes have an influence cm the word-formation system?
The verb-based derived nouns have six kinds of particular semantic characteristics and the nominal word-formative suffixes compose the word-formative system by being used in word-formation complementally and offer the possibility of various expressions. But there is also the case of an exceptional competition relation by combining the verb-based words with two more different nominal word-format ive suffixes semantically
6. How can the verb-based derived nouns be transformed and interpreted syntactically in connection with the semantic characteristics of the word-formative suffixes?
The meaning of the verb-based derived nouns is originally formed by adding basic meaning, which the verbal stem contains, to semantic characteristics, which are expressed through wordformative suffixes. This can be clearly affirmed by transforming the verd-based derived nouns into syntax structure
