Zombie nouns — плохая привычка не только носителей языка (академики, политики, консультанты), но и носителей русского языка, когда они переводят свою мысль с русского языка, который насыщен существительными.
Посмотрите примеры в галерее: Мысль трансформируется из «непонятной» в «ясную и простую» просто с помощью замены zombie nouns на глаголы.
Дальше на английском :)
Highly recommend this talk to anyone who wants to write better in English
Conclusion:
➡️ Avoid Zombie nouns in your writing. Use active verbs instead to communicate your ideas with clarity
➡️ Passive voice is not always evil. You need to learn to feel and understand when the passive voice does a better job than the active voice
