I search info and explanations about "transitive nouns", I didn't read Chomsky yet. I know he talks about "transitive nouns".
Transitivity is typically thought of as a property of verbs, and perhaps of adpositions,
but it is not a typical property of nouns or adjectives. In the influential cross-
classification of syntactic categories developed by Chomsky (e.g. 1981: 48),
nouns and adjectives are actually defined in opposition to adpositions and verbs
by their inability to govern objects, that is by their inability to be transitive.

I would need some more explanations, so, what is your (simple!) definition for transivity applied to nouns, its rules of use, some examples, and in which family of languages they apply or not apply?
