nominalizowan

Nominalizowan is a term that appears in some Polish-language linguistic discussions as a reference to something that has been nominalized. It is not a standard dictionary entry in major Polish lexicons, where the process is typically described by the noun nominalizacja or by the participle nominalizowany, meaning “nominalized.” When the form nominalizowan appears, it is not widely recognized as an independent lexeme and is more likely found as part of a longer form or as a data-annotation tag in corpora.

Etymology and morphology: The term is derived from the verb nominalizować, meaning to nominalize. The conventional forms in Polish include nominalizacja (the process of nominalizing) and nominalizowany (nominalized, masculine singular participle). Polish nominalization commonly uses suffixes such as -enie/-anie to produce nouns, or -owanie to form gerunds, and -owany to create participles. The hypothetical stem nominalizowan would typically be extended with standard inflectional endings or replaced by the established forms nominalizowany, nominalizowana, etc.

Usage and context: In descriptive linguistics, nominalization is discussed as a morpho-syntactic process that turns verbs into nouns or noun phrases. The form argued as “nominalizowan” may appear in notes, corpus tagging, or pedagogical discussions as a placeholder to indicate a state of having been nominalized. It is not a canonical or widely accepted standalone form in formal grammar descriptions.
