  1. considering how nominalisation affects the way in which events are constructed and explained, making some information more explicit than other information
  2. analysing how logical relations between ideas are built up by combining main with subordinate clauses to indicate cause, result, manner, concession, condition, and so on, for example ‘Although the poet was not generally well received by critics during her life (concession), her reputation grew substantially after her death.’
