About this document
Understanding Nominalisation in English by rknagi is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Nominalisation refers to changing words that are not nouns into nouns. Some examples of nominalisation include changing verbs like "react" into "reaction" and adjectives like "long" into "length". Nominalisation is common in academic language as it allows concepts and ideas to be discussed more easily compared to using verbs and adjectives. Students are expected to start using nominalisation in their writing from a young age across different subject areas.
