Abstract

This study aims to investigate the nature of lexical nominalizations as used in the works of Jack London and O’ Henry. It looks at how these English lexical nominalizations are translated into Vietnamese and the phenomenon of loss and gain that occurs during the process of translation. Some implications will also be drawn out to help English learners to master their translation, especially in dealing with the translation of English literary works
