Nominalization is when a word or a group of words are changed into a noun. This can be achieved by adding a suffix. Nominalizations are commonly derived from verbs, but they can be derived from other parts of speech, such as adjectives. An example of a verbal nominalization is the verb imply by turning it into the noun implication.
Deverbalization and substantivization is part of a two stage phonological process that generates a partial or total adapatation of a verb in order to name a higher-order entity. The role of conversion and affixation also take place during this process. Deverbalization tends to take the same set of complements as the verb it transforms.
