Why choose this project topic?
An examination of how nominalised processes make institutional actors more or less explicit produces a manageable language question with observable evidence. It lets you connect English-language concepts to particular communicative choices instead of making unsupported judgments about speakers.
What patterns emerge in how nominalised processes make institutional actors more or less explicit within public English annual reports from a defined set of Nigerian institutions?
Choose the corpus size, sampling period and annotation framework for how nominalised processes make institutional actors more or less explicit; confirm access before fixing the title.
Proposed project objectives
- 01Identify the linguistic forms involved in how nominalised processes make institutional actors more or less explicit.
- 02Compile a documented and ethically accessible dataset from public English annual reports from a defined set of Nigerian institutions.
- 03Identify nominalisations, recover possible process participants and compare passages with explicit verbal clauses.
A suggested research approach
Agree access and selection criteria for public English annual reports from a defined set of Nigerian institutions. Identify nominalisations, recover possible process participants and compare passages with explicit verbal clauses. Pilot the annotation scheme, retain examples that challenge initial categories and report disagreements. Obtain institutional approval and informed consent before collecting participant data.
What you will need
- Permitted access to public English annual reports from a defined set of Nigerian institutions
- An annotation guide covering how nominalised processes make institutional actors more or less explicit
- A secure anonymisation procedure and any required ethics approval
Keep your project scope clear
An omitted actor is not sufficient evidence of deliberate deception or institutional wrongdoing.
