Word ID • Science
Scientific writing is often characterized by language features such as unfamiliar content-specific vocabulary and overly academic language. It achieves much of its informational density through the process of nominalization. In nominalization, a verb or an adjective is converted into a noun by the addition of a derivational suffix. For example, vary becomes variable and indicate becomes indication.
