Introduction
4.1
Awareness-raising activity to show why strategy is important
What should you wear when you start your first real job? Obviously, things are different depending on whether you’re a guy or a gal, but a lot of the decisions are the same. You’re probably worried about the interview and the first few days at work. The interview, of course, is where they decide if they’re actually going to hire you. But also, you have to think about the trial period when you and the employer look each other over. It’s a two-way street, isn’t it? Clothes are a good way of seeing if you’ll fit in. It’s part of what they call the ‘corporate culture’. Many young people graduating from university are unsure about the clothes they need when they embark on their chosen careers. The details are different for men and women, but the principles are the same. In most cases, the main concern is the job interview itself, and, secondarily, the first week once hired. At the interview, the company assesses the candidate and makes a decision on whether to offer a contract of employment, usually on a probationary basis of six months. This is to see if a candidate will fit in to the corporate culture.
2 A tendency to base structures around nouns rather than verbs (called ‘nominalization’). • The research team made a careful assessment of the data. (Rather than The research team assessed the data carefully.) 3 The use of formal vocabulary, such as resign from rather than quit a job, and children rather than kids.
1 Nominalizations from verbs • Governments or central banks vary (verb) interest rates to control (verb) the economy. ➝ Variations (noun) in interest rates are a key instrument (additional information) in economic control (noun). • To maintain staff motivation, companies need to consult with managers before changing their job descriptions. ➝ Consultation with managers over changes to their job descriptions is vital in maintaining their motivation.
4 A preference for a cautious and objective approach, with evidence to support our ideas, and consideration given to the views of others, along with the avoidance of emotive or subjective language such as disgusting or marvellous. In this unit, the first three areas are covered in some depth, but note that, for the fourth, you should refer to Unit 14 Hedging for an in-depth analysis.
Unit contents
Note that you can also nominalize by using the -ing forms of verbs. • If companies continue to burn the forests, they are likely to destroy much of the local flora and fauna. ➝ The continued burning of the forest will lead to the destruction of much of the local flora and fauna.
Nominalization page 000 Using it … , there … page 000 Using I, we, you, one page 000 Formal verbs, nouns and adjectives page 000 Other formal verbs, phrases, and structures page 000
TIP As you can see in the examples above, nominalized sentences often use the simple verb be because the weight of meaning is carried by the noun rather than the verb.
See also page 000 in Unit 9 Passives, for the use of the passive voice to demonstrate objectivity.
TIP Many nouns with verb partners have -tion endings, e.g. clarify/clarification, demonstrate/demonstration, fluctuate/fluctuation, innovate/innovation, legislate/ legislation, motivate/motivation, predict/prediction, produce/production, reduce/reduction, resolve/resolution.
Suggested answers: see page 000

Oxford Grammar for EAP
Nominalization
Nominalization is the process of focusing your writing around nouns rather than verbs or adjectives. Not only do nouns make your language more impersonal, they also allow you to add information to your writing more easily and to use structures that place the emphasis on an important event rather than on the agent (the person or thing that made it happen). • Severe weather conditions in the developing world often lead to short-term poverty. (verb phrase) ➝ Severe weather conditions in the developing world are often the cause of short-term poverty. (noun phrase) ➝ Severe weather conditions in the developing world are often the primary cause of short-term poverty. (noun phrase with additional information) • The council converted the disused factory into a community centre … ➝ The conversion of the disused factory into a community centre … (provided a much-needed social space for the area). Note that in the example above the important word (conversion) is now at the beginning of the sentence.
Academic language should always be clear and logical, but it should also conform to its own genre or style, otherwise it risks distracting the reader or listener from the main purpose. Academic English, particularly when written, is usually described as ‘formal’ language. The formality of academic writing is characterized by the following:
1 2 3 4 5
effectively as a supplement to any course or for individual study.
4.1 study
1 An impersonal rather than a personal style, including the use of structures that begin with it and there, rather than the personal pronouns I, we and you. • There needs to be a proper exploration of the causes of the riots.
Look at two texts on the same subject. Where do you think you would see them? What are the main differences between them? Identify at least three specific examples.
Suitable for students on English medium university or pre-university courses, across a wide range of disciplines, e.g. business, finance, natural sciences, engineering, and technology.
2 Nominalizations from adjectives • The judge will decide finally on how long (adjective) the offender remains in jail. ➝ The judge will make the final decision on the length (noun) of the offender’s prison sentence. • The context in which it is exhibited may determine whether or not a painting is powerful. ➝ The power of a painting may be determined by the context in which it is exhibited. TIP Sometimes you can use a completely different noun to express the same meaning as a verb or adjective. • Parts of the country’s infrastructure have been getting better in the last two or three years. ➝ There have been some improvements in the country’s infrastructure in the last two or three years. TIP Here are some more adjective-noun partnerships: beneficial/benefit, coherent/coherence, enormous/enormity, intelligent/intelligence, logical/logic, relevant/relevance, secure/security, similar/similarity, stable/stability.
4.1 test yourself Complete the second sentence so that it has the same meaning as the first. Use one noun in each space. 1 It is essential to communicate regularly but briefly with the sales force in the field. Regular but brief with the sales force in the field is essential. 2 Local authorities preserved a wide area of land from being developed, and this allowed them to create a park. The of a wide area of land from allowed local authorities to create a park. 3 The presenter questioned whether some of the research into prime numbers was relevant. The of some of the research into prime numbers was questioned by the presenter. 4 Orton supports Foster, who predicts slow economic growth led by the service sector. Orton supports Foster in his of slow economic growth led by the service sector. 5 The political situation must be stable before it is possible for poverty in this part of Africa to be eliminated. The of the political situation is a of poverty pre-condition for the in this part of Africa.
