Abstract
Scholars have different attitudes to the relationship between general linguistics and LSP. In this article I will

discuss my own view on this relationship and its theoretical and methodological consequences. In the wake of

this I will test Chomsky’s lexicalist hypothesis on the compound deverbal noun (DN) constructions in

Norwegian. More specifically, I will discuss what happens when DNs with carried over argument structure

from the corresponding verb in unpacked phrases like bygging av hus (“the building of houses”) are packed

down into compounds like husbygging (“house building”). The two basic argument types subject and direct

object will be discussed. Finally I will briefly discuss how petrification and fossilization may be studied in an

LSP context.
