Croft's comparative concept
action nominal (a.k.a. nominalization) (STR):

action nominal (a.k.a. nominalization) (STR) = a deranked predicate form that is capable of inflecting for case or of taking adpositions in the same way as nouns do, and with reasonable productivity. Example: in He remains under investigation, investigation is an action nominal. Action nominals overwhelmingly lack predicate-like tense–aspect– mood and argument indexation inflections. (Section 15.3.2)
