Maurice Gross, « Synonymie, morphologie dérivationnelle et transformations », Langages, ID : 10.3406/lgge.1997.2134
We compare synonymy relations to transformational relations. Transformations are the equivalence relations defined by Z. S. Harris. They include adjectivizations and nominalizations, they move entirely derivational morphology into the domain of syntax. These transformations operate between elementary sentences and they make use of support verbs. With this extension, we show that synonymy relations can be viewed as generalizing basic transformations.
