Résumé
The so-called ‘action’ nouns constitute a subcategory of nominals. Any non-passive verb potentially has in Berber an action noun which denotes the relevant action or state in an unbounded fashion (‘the fact/action of X-ing’).The action noun’s meaning is largely predictable, but its pattern tends to vary depending on verbal stem, especially in the case of light verbs. It has been the subject of an in-depth morphological or syntactic study only in a few works (Bentolila 1981, Galand 2002, Heath 2005, Kossmann 1997 et 2013, Prasse 1974, Taifi 2006). In Zenaga, some patterns (mostly masculine but also feminine) are very productive. The action noun is used in a particular exclamatory sentence to express the high degree, but not in cases where a verb is focalized.I propose to make an exhaustive study of action nouns in Zenaga and to compare with the other Berber languages.
