This paper mainly aims to reinforce the analysis of English derived nominals given in Sasaki (1997) by using additional computer corpora, from Time and VOA, on the syntactic distribution of destruction shown by adult native speakers of English. From this corpus-based analysis, we have gotten almost the same distributional result as that of Sasaki (1997) and have concluded that there is a general tendency for derived nominals like the destruction of Rome to appear in various syntactic positions with different frequency : a. subject position (NP VP) : 10 % b. verb object position (V NP) : 30 % c. preposition object position (P NP) : 54 % [the most frequent] d. subject complement (NP be NP) : 2 % e. as an appositive NP (NP, NP) : 4 % Finally, we have suggested that it is necessary for further investigation of the relevant data to have the following seven points of view : 1) development of the internal structure (correlated with the distributional extension) 2) obligatoriness of argument structure 3) possible semantic types 4) other data than destruction 5) data on language acquisition shown by child native speakers of English 6) data on English history 7) typological comparison
