Nominalization in Major/Writing Style

I haven't specifically noticed nominalization in my texts, but I'm sure they're present. I'm an English major, and I think that might be why. It seems like the specific type of nominals discussed on pages 339-41 would turn up more in textbooks than in novels.

I think that I pay a little more attention to how I write on my various class assignments. I actually haven't had to write very much recently, but I'm sure this class will make a difference in the next couple of weeks when I start writing end of term papers.
