The Collins COBUILD English Grammar (1990) places emphasis on nominalization coupled with the concepts of synonymy and collocation, all of which have to do with vocabulary building, may serve as the take-off for sentence construction.

PROCESS TO OBSERVE
2. Determine which part of the sentence it may now occupy.
3. Consider the modifiers of the word in the original sentence and determine what other changes will have to be made.
4. Finally, come up with a verb to replace the one you nominalized. Be sure it collocates or goes together with the word you nominalized.
