What is "nominalization"?
Nominalization is the process of transforming a word, often a verb or an adjective, into a noun. This process allows for the creation of new nouns that can represent actions, qualities, or states. For example, the verb "decide" can be nominalized to form the noun "decision", and the adjective "happy" can become the noun "happiness". Nominalization is important in language as it enables more complex expressions and helps to convey ideas in a more abstract manner.
