Summary/Abstract: This monograph is a comprehensive study that examines in a comparative perspective deverbal nominalization with the suffixes -else and -an/-en in contemporary Swedish and Norwegian. It contrasts the formal, semantic, and stylistic characteristics of the respective word-formative patterns, based on both intrasystemic (for Swedish and Norwegian separately) and intersystemic (comparative) analysis. This analysis encompasses not only word-formation patterns but also their constraints and the derivative lexemes they produce. The study offers also an account of some productive, as well as unproductive, competitive and complementary word-formation models, such as derivation with -ande (-ende), -(n)ing, -eri, zero derivation, and others. It outlines the similarities and differences in the main regularities governing the formation of deverbal nouns in Swedish and Norwegian.
