Geo-English

The aim of the book is the development of skills in independent reading / translation into Russian of English scientific texts to get a deeper insight into the information they convey. The authors propose an algorithm of interpreting and analyzing the grammatical structures that present particular difficulties in their identifying, understanding and translating into Russian. The systemic approach to participial, gerundial and infinitival constructions greatly facilitates the process of learning. Special attention is also given to the functional peculiarities of modals and passive and emphatic structures.

For students, postgraduates and scientists in geology and geophysics, as well as those who strive to improve their practical skills in understanding and translating scientific literature from English into Russian.
