本篇論文主要以大量的長篇語料為依據來探討魯凱語萬山方言名物化結構。文中所使用的構詞及句法的證明是用來進一步識別派生名詞與動詞以及區分發生在詞彙及句法兩個層面的名物化結構。再者，本篇論文試圖證明，魯凱語萬山方言中名物化與關係子句的相似性。

The present paper aims primarily at providing a descriptive analysis of the various nominalization process found in Mantauran (Rukai), based on a large corpus of texts. While morpho-syntactic tests are proposed that permit the identification of derived nominals (as opposed to verbs) and the distinguishing of lexical nominalization from syntactic nominalization, the array of constructions that trigger syntactic nominalization shows that there is a priori no distinction between nominalization and relativization in this dialect.
