Summary/Abstract: In this article, we are interested in the operation of nominalization in a specialized corpus.Thus, it presents a comparative analysis, based on a corpus represented by travel guides in Romanianand French. In the literature, nominalization is considered a common phenomenon in specializedlanguages. It is generally known that the complexity of the scientific language resides mainly in itsspecific terminology and nominalization. A typical feature of the scientific discourse is the use ofnominalisation, where processes and properties are metaphorically reconstrued as nouns. Moreover,nominalisations are very important in the creation of technical and specialised vocabulary, enablingan informationally dense discourse. For this reason, nominalisation was chosen as a proper linguisticfeature for characterizing travel guides.
