Connecting with the Eternal Ground

Abstract

The paper is based on the grammatical metaphor in systemic functional grammar and multi-stratification social semiotics of language, and explores the generative mechanism, categories and features of nominalization in business discourse. We can conclude that nominalization originates from a rank shift in the course of grammatical metaphor. The choice of nominalization is non-arbitrary, for it connects with the communicative purpose of speakers. Nominalization is a source of reconstructing human experiences, a process of the reconstruction of new meaning. At the same time, nominalization can push the development of theme and information, contributing to the construction of discourse meaning, revealing non-arbitrariness and constructiveness of nominalization in business discourse.
