nominalized clause as object

syntax

7 sentences

A syntactic pattern where a whole clause is nominalized with の, こと, or 点 and then serves as the object of a matrix verb — ~のをやめる ('stop doing X'), ~のが好き ('like doing X'), ~ことを認める ('admit that X'), ~点を指摘する ('point out the fact that X'). Common in formal, reportive, and academic Japanese; the choice between の and こと is sense-driven (perceptual vs propositional).
