Привет! В предыдущем уроке мы освоили эмфатические конструкции для создания акцента в речи. Сегодня мы изучаем номинализацию — мощный инструмент для создания формального, академического и делового стиля письма.
Номинализация — это процесс превращения глаголов и прилагательных в существительные. Представьте, что ваш язык — это художественная галерея. Обычные предложения — это живые, динамичные картины с множеством действий. Номинализация превращает эти картины в изысканные скульптуры — более статичные, но элегантные и концептуальные.
Простой стиль: When the company expanded, it became more profitable.
С номинализацией: The company's expansion led to increased profitability.
Простой стиль: Because many people were unemployed, the economy became unstable.
С номинализацией: High unemployment resulted in economic instability.
Чувствуете разницу? Второй вариант звучит более формально, концентрированно и "научно".
На уровне B2 владение номинализацией необходимо для:
- Academic writing (научные работы)
- Business reports (деловые отчеты)
- Formal presentations (официальные презентации)
- Legal documents (юридические документы)
- Technical writing (техническая документация)
Готовы превратить ваш английский в изысканный инструмент формального общения? Начинаем трансформацию!
