ABSTRACT

This paper aims to examine the abstraction process and the taxonomy of events related to the nominal style in scientific writing. In most scientific writing, not only things but also events, like process and state, are reclassified to explaina phenomenon. When events are classified, they are nominalizedand organized as things. Analysing events in explanations, writers interpret events as things. To examine the abstraction and taxonomy of events in scientific texts, at first we define the nominalization of verbal style as an abstraction of events and demonstrate the semantic process of the abstraction. Secondly, we establish principles and conditions for the taxonomy of nominalized events.
