It is often assumed, particularly in inferential-realizational approachesto in􁞸ection (Anderson 1992; Stump 2001), that in􁞸ectional morphologyis “􁞸atµ, i.e. does not involve internal constituency or intermediarylexical categories. We argue in this paper on the basis of the derivation ofnouns from verbs that the in􁞸ectional pre􁞷xes of Oneida (Northern Iroquoian)form a 􁞸at template, but that the in􁞸ectional su􁞹xes belong to a di􁞶erentlayer from the pre􁞷xes. We further argue that verb-to-noun derivation is semanticallytransparent in Oneida in that lexical category follows ontologicalsorts and category-changing derivation is always accompanied by ontologicalchange, from situation descriptions to object descriptions. Finally, we suggestthat verb-to-noun derivation plays a special role in the Oneida lexicon as somany names of everyday object categories are derived from verbs and thatverbs behave as the only open class in the language.
