Abstract
This paper reports on a corpus-based quantitative study of the use of nominalizations across China English and British English in two comparable media corpora. In contrast to previous corpus-based studies of nominalizations, we start by using a syntactic approach and proceed with some methodological innovations incorporating large lexical databases and syntactically annotated corpora. The data show that there are significant differences in the use of nominalizations across these two English varieties. It is hoped that this research will offer useful insights on variations in nominalization across different English varieties and also on the understanding of the two English varieties in question. © 2014 by Ying Liu, Alex Chengyu Fang, and Naixing Wei.
