When we choose to give the main information in a clause as a noun phrase rather than as a verb this is called Nominalisation.1.Nominalisation in written EnglishIn spoken English we usually use a subject + verb to describe an event .In formal Written Language we use language that is less personal , so we often use a noun form instead of a verb . The written scientific account describes the same reaction like this :Following a bee sting the normal reaction is redness , irritation and itching.In the spoken example the events are expressed by verbs (go red ). In the written examples the events have been changed into nouns (redness) . Notice that the only verb in written examples is the none action verb be.We can also change some adjectives to nouns. Compare:The cathedral is tall and can be seen from all over the town.The cathedral's height makes it visible all over the town.The common differences between spoken and written English are :A.Spoken:action or events are expressed as verbs;events happen to people or are carried out by people ;personal pronouns are used as subjects;verbs are often action or event verbs;B.Written:actions or events may be expressed as nouns or noun phrases;events are expressed impersonally;nouns used as subjects;verbs are often not action or event verbs ;sentences have a lot of vocabulary words;2.Reasons for using NominalisationMake texts impersonal and authoritativeBy turning actions into nouns we make the text sound less personal and more authoritative.We don't use personal pronouns as much .Compare :Following a bee sting the normal reaction is burning pain ,redness , irritation and itching . In this situation there may be swelling in the area around the bite .Then really quickly my foot began to go red and swell up . It just got bigger and bigger .It itched a bit too . I was really surprised by how much it hurts .ADDING INFORMATION:Nominalisation is particularly useful for Academic Written Task 1 because we can do several things to add information to nouns in English:count : the two charts;describe: the two coloured charts ;classify: the two coloured bar charts;We can not do the same with verbs. It is only by changing verbs into nouns that we can add information words to a text in such a concise way .Avoiding repetition:We can use nominalisation to avoid repetition when we want to refer back to a previously mentioned idea.Nominalisation can also be used to paraphrase what has been said. In IELTS listening and reading tests different words are used in the texts and the questions .
