nominaalivartalostuksen

Nominaalivartalostus is a term that appears very rarely in Finnish-language sources and is not listed in standard dictionaries. Because it is not widely standardized, its precise meaning can vary between authors and disciplines. The word is formed from nominaali (nominal) and vartalo-stus (a suffix-pattern indicating a process or operation), with the genitive ending -ksen used in reference to the process itself.

In a linguistic or grammatical context, nominaalivartalostus is sometimes used to describe a process related to nominalization—the transformation of a verbal or clausal structure into a noun phrase with a nominal core. In other technical or data-oriented usages, the term could be employed to denote creating, annotating, or grounding a nominal “body” or core for a concept within a dataset, ontology, or textual analysis. However, because there is no standardized definition, these interpretations are speculative and dependent on the author’s framing.

Usage guidance:

- If you encounter nominaalivartalostuksen in a text, look for the author’s explicit definition or the surrounding discussion to determine what is meant by the “nominal body” and the process being described.

- Compare with related terms such as nominalisaatio (nominalization) and examine how the term is being used in the specific context.
