Technical English is characterized by a high degree of specialization. The prevalent use of nominalization enhances the objectivity and rigor of the text by reducing reliance on subject-predicate structures, thereby achieving greater conciseness, objectivity, and precision. This paper will explore the nominalization strategies in the English translation of scientific and technical texts at both the lexical and the syntactic levels.
