• "Particular emphasis was placed on avoiding polysyllabic nominalizations (i.e., a lot of words ending in “tion”), while other shorter ones (like “changes”) can be OK."
• "Other areas where a situation semantics perspective has led to progress include attitude ascriptions, questions, tense, aspect, nominalizations, implicit arguments, point of view, counterfactual conditionals, and discourse relations."
• "It's been a feature of English from its very beginning, in Anglo-Saxon times, so any general rule about 'shunning' nominalizations has to be absurd."
