How to turn an adjective into a noun #1 (permalink) Tue May 23, 2006 5:00 am   How to turn an adjective into a noun		  
Is there a term for "making an adjective a noun".
Like in German they say "Nominalisierung".

Hi Sakoos

The verb "nominalize" means to change verb or adjective into a noun. You can nominalize 'nominalize' by changing it to 'nominalization'. Very Happy

(I assume the spelling in the UK would be "nominalise".)
