There is an aspect of nominalization that must be required to find out, it is the logical structure of the noun phrase. This research used descriptive qualitative method, from journal article entitles “A Speech Function Analysis of tag Questions in British English Spontaneous Dialogue” (Kimps, Ditte; Kristin Davidse & Bert Cornillie 2014). The researcher took 30 sentences that contains a nominalization. It is found 32 nominalizations that derived from verbs as a deverbal noun and 2 nominalizations as a verbal noun.
