Detailed overviews of nominalization in Dutch can be found in De Haas & Trommelen (1993) and Haeseryn et al. (1997:879ff.). For a discussion of restrictions on the input verb (especially unaccusative verbs) of deverbal constructions of various kinds, see Knopper (1984). For discussions of er-nominalizations, see Booij (1986a, 1986b), Hoekstra (1986) and De Caluwe (1992, 1995). Discussions of the behavior of inf and/or ing-nominalizations can be found in Ten Cate (1977), Van Haaften et al. (1985), Dik (1985a), Hoekstra & Wehrmann (1985), Hoekstra (1986), Looyenga (1990) and Schoorlemmer (2001), while Van den Hoek (1972) and Mackenzie (1985a) deal exclusively with ge-nominalizations. For a comparison of derivations with the affixes ge- and -erij, see Hüning (1992). Discussions of Dutch picture nouns can be found in Kaan (1992:§5), Vanden Wyngaerd (1994:§7) and De Wit (1997). Although they deal with English rather than Dutch, the following publications may also be of interest: Zucchi (1993), who deals with the syntax and semantics of nominalization; Mackenzie (1985b, 1986, 1990, 1996), who takes a functional view; and Fu et al. (2001) on process nominals. For a typological study of action nominals based on 70 languages (including Dutch), see Koptsjevskaja-Tamm (1993).

Detailed theoretical discussions of argument structure can be found in Williams (1981, 1994) and Grimshaw (1990). For a review of these and other more recent proposals, see also Alexiadou et al. (2007: part IV, chapter 1). For discussions of relational nouns and inalienable possession, the reader is referred to Fillmore (1968), Hawkins (1981), Löbner (1985), and Guéron (1985). Although none of these studies deals specifically with Dutch, they all contain material relevant to the Dutch noun phrase. Generative studies on the inheritance of arguments in Dutch include Hoekstra (1984a, 1986), Booij (1986a, 1988, 1992b), and Booij & Van Haaften (1987); Van der Putten (1997) takes a lexical approach, and Dik (1985a, 1985b) and Mackenzie (1985a, 1986) take a functional approach.

There is a large body of literature on extraction from the noun phrase. For the Dutch language, the reader is referred to Coppen (1991), Kaan (1992, §4), De Wit (1997), and Broekhuis (2016). Earlier studies on extraction include Kooij & Wiers (1977, 1978, 1979), Klein & Van der Toorn (1979), and De Haan (1979). Tests have also been developed for English to distinguish PP-complements from PP-modifiers; cf. Radford (1988), Fries (1999), and Huddleston & Pullum (2002). Discussions of extraction from English noun phrases in a generative context can be found in Guéron (1980), Baltin (1983, 1984), Culicover & Rochemont (1990), Rochemont & Culicover (1990) Davies & Dubinsky (2003), and Chomsky (2008).
