La Nominalisation

La Nominalisation is basically turning a verb into a noun. To any anglophone, this is often done either by suffixing -ing, -tion, or a few other suffixes depending on the word. The same is in French! Three common suffixes are -ment, -age, and -tion. For nouns ending in -ment or -age, they’ll take the masculine gender while nouns ending in -tion will be feminine. Here are some examples of verbs and their noun forms! Occasionally, the meaning changes a bit. Accroître - Accroissement [m] (to increase - an increase) Agrandir - Agrandissement [m] (to extend/enlarge - extension/enlargement) Apparaître - Apparition [f] (to appear - appearance) Apprendre - Apprentissage [m] (to learn - learning) Développer - Développement [m] (to develop - development) Discuter - Discussion [f] (to discuss - discussion) Disparaître - Disparition [f] (to disappear - disappearance) Élire - Élection [f] (to elect - election) Enseigner - Enseignement [m] (to teach - teaching) Fabriquer - Fabrication [f] (to produce - production) Lancer - Lancement [m] (to launch/throw - launch/début) Manifester - Manifestation [f] (to protest - a protest) Parler - Parlement [m] (to talk - parliament) Sauver - Sauvetage [m] (to save - a rescue) There’s a ton of examples and even the word nominalisation comes from the verb nominaliser. I’m sure there’s some sort of pattern but honestly I just think of what sounds right (which isn’t very useful). At least for Anglophones, a lot of words produced through nominalisation will sound familiar.

La nominalisation, l’adjectivisation, la verbalisation, l’adverbialisation et les familles des mots

Vous êtes-vous demandez comment vous pouvez augmenter votre vocabulaire facilement et aussi vérifier que vos compositions sont concises ? Ne cherchez plus ! Je vous présente la nominalisation, l’adjectivisation, la verbalisation et l’adverbialisation. Ce sont les méthodes de remplacer une expression longue avec un seul mot créé en utilisant la racine d’un mot connu. Ces mots créés appartiennent à la même famille des mots. Ainsi, on peut comprendre plus de mots aussi !

La nominalisation: créer un nom d’un verbe, adjectif, ou adverbe.

L’adjectivisation: créer un adjectif d’un verbe, nom, ou adverbe.

La verbalisation: créer un verbe d’un nom, adjectif, ou adverbe.

L’adverbalisation: créer un adverbe d’un nom, adjectif, ou adverbe.

Exemple: La racine: claire

Le nom: la clarté, la clarification L’adjectif: claire Le verbe: clarifier L’adverbe: clairement

*Notez bien qu’il n’y ait pas toujours un nom, un verbe, un adjectif, ou un adverbe qui dérive directement de la racine. Par exemple, le verbe pour le nom « l’expérience » n’est pas « expériencer » (c’est un anglicisme), c’est « ressentir » . Donc, un dictionnaire comme Word Reference est utile pour trouver la traduction correcte d’un mot en français.

Pouvez-vous trouver des mots ainsi? Essayez: « le travail » , « magasiner » , « gentiment » , « fort » !

Academic language is a topic that’s of much interest in schools, particularly in terms of its perceived value in closing elusive ‘gaps’ in attainment for disadvantaged learners. I’ve been exploring academic language and literacies in my work with schools, and would like to share some of the strategies and approaches we’ve found useful.

Nominalisation

We can sometimes use a noun or noun phrase for an idea usually expressed by a verb or adjective. This process is referred to as nominalisation. It is especially common in formal styles of writing.

An adverb modifying a verb changes to an adjective in a nominalised form.

The main noun in a noun phrase is often followed by one or more prepositional phrases (e.g. development of the area, rise in the level of radon gas in the soil).

We use nominalisation for a number of reasons:

to avoid mentioning the agent if we want to be impersonal or to make the agent less important.

to express two clauses more concisely as one clause.

to give a different focus to the sentence.

Do, give, have, make, take + noun

We can sometimes use a form with do/give/have/make/take + noun instead of a verb.

Often, the do/give/have/make/take + noun patterns are less formal than using a verb alone.

Reading requires determination, considering the summation of nominalised verbs in grammatical constructions can cause the reader to struggle, with difficulty and intensity, to reach the conclusion.
