n.  It  far  exceeds  other  types  of nominalization.  Nominalization  of  quality  ranks  second,  occupying  24.0%. Nominalization  of  zero  is  far  lower  than  that  of  process  or  quality.  There  are  eight cases in total, which occupies 2.3%. Nominalization of relators only occurs one time which  occupies  0.2%.  Nominalization  of  circumstantial  elements  does  not  occur  in the randomly collected corpus.The metaphorical expressions realized by nominalizations are small in number, which  occupies  10.9%.  According  to  Yang  Xinzhang’s  study,  there  are  80%  and 53.26%  nominalization  in  news  report  and  scientific  discourse  respectively. Abstracts  have  a  lower  percentage  than  news  report  and  scientific  discourse.  So  it should  be  made  clear  that  the  frequency  of  nominalization  is  not  a  adequate condition to measure the level of formality.

conclusion

In  spite  of  the  great  effort  the  author  has  made,  the  present  study  is  not  free from limitations. The limitations which are expected to provide some enlightenment for further study are listed here. First, the corpus is apparently not big enough. Although it contains 60 abstracts of  academic  journal  articles,  not  all  types  of  articles  are  covered.  The  author  just chooses abstracts in linguistic field. So in order to get a more convincing result, it is suggested to expand the volume of target corpus. Furthermore, the research needs to contain more academic fields, such as mathematics, computer and so on.  Second, during the process of identifying and counting the frequency of the five types  of  nominalization,  there  must  be  some  negligence  due  to  the  author’s  limited knowledge and  narrow understanding.  Some  examples  picked out  for analyzing  the meta-functions  of  nominalization  may  not  be  so  cogent.  And  some  functions  in abstracts are still untouched. Therefore, the results and the power of persuasion may be affected.  Third, the thesis is under the framework of Halliday’s grammatical metaphor. It is known that there are various schools talking about nominalization. That  is to say, the discussion of the theory never stops and is updated all the time. In the future, the theory  may  be  developed  and  challenged  or  even  overthrown.  So  the  subsequent linguists should not restrict their research in a certain theory.
