Book Free DemoThe term "nominalisation" refers to producing a noun from another part of speech by adding a derivational affix. A grammatical expression is turned into a noun phrase when we nominalise a sentence.
Example:
(A) After 1885, trade with Europe grew. (Verb)
(B) After 1885, there was a growth in trade with Europe. (Noun)
In sentence B, we have used the word 'growth' which is the noun form of the verb 'grow', by adding the suffix' th'.
(B) After 1885, there was a growth in trade with Europe. (Noun)
In sentence B, we have used the word 'growth' which is the noun form of the verb 'grow', by adding the suffix' th'.
Nominalisation can be done in three different ways.
1. We can add suffixes like -ment, -tion, -sion, -ness, -ation, -ity, -al to verbs and adjectives.
Example:
admire – admiration
arrive – arrival
careless – carelessness
fail – failure
include – inclusion
intense – intensity
punish – punishment
2. Some words are turned into nouns without any adding suffix.
Example:
bleed – blood
lose – loss
prove – proof
sell – sale
speak – speech
3. Some words do not undergo any change when they are used as nouns.
Example:
attempt – attempt
change – change
control – control
