Two Romanian nominalizations, the in®nitive and the supine, are compared in Noun­Object (NO) and Noun­Subject (NS) structures, regarding their ability to yield e-(vent)}r-(esult) readings. The NO structures behave alike and yield e-readings. The two NS structures contrast sharply: the in®nitive NS is always an r-nominal, the supine NS may be an e-nominal. This contrast between the in®nitive and the supine follows from their aspectual properties. While the supine is [®Telic], and may project either an Object or a Subject in e-nominals, the in®nitive is [­Telic], and requires the projection of the Object. This constraint may follow from the fact that in nominals Aspect and Case are checked in the same projection.
