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.
Alba E. Ruz holds a PhD in English Linguistics from the University of Granada (Spain). Her research is on English morphology, with a special focus on word formation and lexical semantics.
