从功能语法的角度谈英文医学论文中的名物化现象

Application of Nominalization in Discussion Sections of English Medical Research Papers

大量名物化结构的使用是科技文章的一个重要特征，它能够帮助人们简洁、精确、客观地表达自己的意思。目前有关名物化的研究大多围绕科技、法律、外贸英语等方面展开，而本文侧重于研究医学英语的名物化现象，从功能语法的角度对中外医学工作者撰写的英文医学论文中名物化的使用情况进行比较与分析，以期为国内医学工作者撰写英文医学论文提供借鉴。

This paper investigates and contrasts the Nominalization used in Discussion Sections of English medical research papers written by Chinese medical writers and native English speaking medical writers,showing that Chinese medical writers use significantly less nominalization than their native English speaking counterparts, which may in some way offer some guidelines for Chinese medical writers in writing their English papers.
