Abstract
Nominalization is a common linguistic feature in academic writing. By expressing actions or events (verbs) as concepts or things (nouns), nominalization produces more abstract and formal text, and conveys a more objective tone. We report our progress in developing a system that offers automatic assistance for nominalization. Given an input sentence with a complex clause, it paraphrases the sentence into a simplex clause by transforming verb phrases into noun phrases. Preliminary evaluations suggest that system performance achieved high recall.
