AUTHORSHIP The work contained in this thesis has not been previously submitted for a degree in any university I certify that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, my thesis contains no material previously published or written by another person except where due reference is made in the thesis itself Signed: ………………………… Nguyen Bui Thuy Minh Date: ……/……/……… ii ABSTRACT This thesis aims to investigate the tendency for explicitation in translating English nominalization in the non-fiction book “Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind” into Vietnamese Following Biber’s definition of English nominalization as a product of derivational morphology, this study categorizes English nominalization into deverbal and deadjectival forms and describes their characteristics The findings reveal that the majority of nominalizations found in the corpus are verb-derived Moreover, it was discovered that certain derivational bound morphemes vastly outnumber other suffixes in the corpus Explicitation, which is a universal characteristic of translated texts, is highly pertinent to the discussion of nominalization in translation owing to the disparity in their natures While a nominal structure depicts the state of affairs in a subtler and more implicit manner, explicitation is the inclination to spell out rather than leave things implicit in the translation Therefore, explicitation in translating nominalization has been selected as the research’s primary focus By adopting the corpus-based contrastive approach, the thesis supports the existence of explicitation in the Vietnamese translation via a number of surface manifestations The results of the research indicate that explicitation in the translation manifests in a relatively wide pattern, with seven categories used by the translator to increase explicitness It is also worth mentioning that explicitation in the translation of English nominals found in the corpus frequently occurs at the lexical level iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS While a complete master’s thesis bears the single name of the principal researcher, it would never have been achievable without the generous support, advice and collaboration of various people Hence, it is my privilege to express my sincere gratitude towards all of them At the outset, I would like to express my deepest thanks and appreciation to my research instructor, Truong Bach Le, Ph.D., for giving me the opportunities to work under his guidance As my supervisor, he has constantly supported me by offering not only extensive professional advice but also the much-needed encouragement throughout this research His knowledge and dedication clarified a lot of my questions and gave me the inspiration to pursue my goals What my supervisor has given me was much more than I could ever give him credit for In addition, thanks should be bestowed upon my colleagues at the Faculty of English, Hue University of Foreign Languages and International Studies, who have shared my workload and encouraged me all throughout Finally, I acknowledge my gratitude to everyone who has directly or indirectly helped me accomplish my master’s thesis iv List of Tables Table 2.1 Noun
