总结:The study aims at analysing and clarifying the processes of nominalizing word classes and nominal functions. From doing so will discover the ways of expressing the types of Grammatical Metaphor including Ideational Grammatical Metaphor, Interpersonal Grammatical Metaphor, and Textual Grammatical Metaphor. The analysis and explanations of the study are based on the new points of view of Functional Grammar introduced by Halliday (1985, 2004, 2014). The book “Happy Teachers Change The World” by Zen Master Thích Nhất Hạnh and Educator Dr. Katherine Weare (2017), is used as the source of data collected and the evidences for the existence and the functions of Nominalization in Non Grammatical Metaphor and Nominalization in Grammatical Metaphor cases to affirm again that Nominalization has it own properties that are different from Grammatical Metaphor. However, Nominalization is also a part of Grammatical Metaphor.The investigation reveals that Nominalization and Grammatical Metaphoroccupies a large number: 507 samples in which Nominalization accounts for 262 samples, and Grammatical Metaphor occupies 245 samples including Ideational Grammatical Metaphor, Interpersonal Grammatical Metaphor, and Textual Grammatical Metaphor.Based on Halliday's Functional Grammar framework, the thesis suggests some applications of the research results to English learning, especially in enriching vocabulary and improving writing skills including academic writing.
