In this paper I will primarily discuss the aspectual properties of Greek verb
derived nominalizations and address the question of how these interact with
morphological marking introducing class and number. Greek nominalizations
will be compared to Romanian ones, which have been argued to show clear
aspectual distinctions. I argue that Greek derived nominals taking the affix
-m- are instances of nominalizations that block culmination and hence are
always atelic and for this reason resist pluralization. A distinction will also be
made between two types of plurality: one introducing tokenization, available
for count nouns and one expletive available only with mass nouns. The latter
type is not available in the nominalization, as it is a very low marker of plurality, introduced at the level of the basic predicate.
