Of the two arguments in transitive ANCs, the one most likely to lose its sentential dependent-marking and head-marking is the A (except for the marginal SENT-POSS type).
Standardized
IF in transitive action nominalizations the non-Agent argument loses the dependent-marking or head-marking that it has in sentential constructions, THEN the Agent argument will lose it too, except in the marginal SENT-POSS type of action nominalizations.
1. “A” means Agent, as in the terminology of Dixon : S, P, A.2. SENT-POSS: sentential Possessive subtype of the ergative-possessive type (ERG-POSS) of the nominalization types, where the A retains its sentential marking. 3. Cf. #443.
