Abstract
Natural Morphology (NM) is a theory of morphology developed by Wolfgang Dressler, Willy Mayerthaler and Wolfgang Wurzel since the 1980s. It is a functionalist theory which focuses on the communicative and the cognitive function of linguistic expressions. Naturalness is considered a matter of degree on a scale from natural to marked. It is determined at different levels ranging from universal to language-specific. In this chapter, it is discussed what such a theory has to say about the data presented in chapter 4. At various points, it is noted that naturalness and markedness depend on the form. Thus, no distinction between process and result nominalizations is made. As a consequence of this approach, NM has not much to say about the core issues of naming.
