nominalizacyjna

Nominalizacyjna is an adjective in Polish that denotes relation to nominalization, the linguistic process of turning verbs or clauses into nouns or noun phrases. It is used in descriptions of forms, functions, and phenomena connected with creating nouns from other parts of speech.

In practice, the term is employed to describe both the products of nominalization (nominalizacyjne formy) and the roles those forms play in syntax. It agrees with the noun it modifies, for example in phrases such as nominalizacyjna struktura or nominalizacyjna funkcja. The underlying idea is to categorize elements that behave like nouns as a result of nominalization, whether by affixation (for instance forms ending in -enie, -anie, -owanie, -anie) or by clausal nominalization where a clause functions as a noun phrase.

Common demonstrations of nominalization include words like czytanie (reading) from czytać, czytanie książek as a subject in a sentence, or pisanie (writing). Such forms enable abstraction, quantification, and the argument structure of sentences. The concept of nominalizacyjna is particularly relevant in linguistic analysis, language teaching, and grammar descriptions, where it helps distinguish nominalized elements from non-nominal forms and clarifies how they interact with modifiers and determiners.

The term is closely related to the broader Polish concept of nominalizacja (nominalization) and to related phrases such as nominalizacyjne konstrukcje or nominalizacyjne wyrażenia. In cross-linguistic theory, the idea aligns with universal discussions of how languages convert verbs or clauses into noun-like units to fulfill syntactic and semantic roles.
