Morphology

subjectivization = subjective (transparent) = subject + ive + ize + ation

The term denotes the process of making meanings reflect speaker attitudes; structurally this is 'subjective' + '-ization', a transparent nominalization even if the sense is technical.

Etymology

Subjectivization comes from subjective ('personal, showing a person's view') together with -ize ('make') and -ation ('process'). So subjectivization names the change by which a word or expression becomes more about the speaker's 'view' than about objective facts.
