Nouns and nominalization as choices of style
Open access0 citations
Abstract
John Eric Bellquist examines nominalization and noun strings as choices of style in professional writing. Through examples from nursing literature, he shows how nouns can name useful concepts while verbs, possessives, and prepositions can clarify actions and relationships. The best choice depends on the intended meaning and what readers need to understand.
