Synopsis

This book tests semantic and quantitative-distributional criteria for directionality in present-day English noun/verb conversion. Directionality is claimed to be ascertained accurately if identified at the level of sense, not lexeme, as in Plank (2010). This is particularly relevant where polysemy allows multiple directions within a lexeme.
