6.6 Study the following abstracts in Russian and English and compare them.
Пример 1:
В данной статье рассмотрены проблемы толкования положений Конституции Конституционным Судом Российской Федерации. Проанализированы характерные особенности грамматического способа толкования, использование в процессе такого толкования различных методов лингвистического и юридического анализа (на примере текстов постановлений Конституционного Суда РФ). Выявлена и обоснована необходимость совместного использования методов юридического и лингвистического анализа в процессе толкования. На основе проведенного исследования автором предлагается выделить юридико-технический способ толкования, дается его определение, формулируются основные характеристики лингвистического и юридического анализа, составляющих юридико-технический способ.
Пример 2:
В статье ставится задача рассмотреть эффект сохранения и преобразования художественного канона на примере задостойника А. А. Архангельского и П. Г. Чеснокова. В результате анализа автор впервые в литературе доказывает, что в Православном богослужебном пении существуют тексты с устойчивым канонизированным типом структуры. Они обладают свободой музыкальной трактовки. При сохранении единого текста и структуры произведений, использованием различных мелодико-графических формул достигается широкое разнообразие музыкальных произведений.
Пример 3:
На уровне концепции в данной работе предложена оптимальная модель современного промышленного дизайна инновационной продукции. В статье рассматривается процедура отбора и проверки определенного проектного решения. Проектная деятельность связывается в статье с интересами как производства, так и рынка. Модель может быть использована как основа для разработки частных методик, необходимых для решения поставленных перед промышленным дизайном задач.
Example 1:
During the last 10 years, use of the World-Wide-Web for educational purposes has increased dramatically. However, very little empirical research has been carried out to determine the effectiveness of this use. The aim of this study was therefore to investigate the effectiveness of using the World-Wide-Web on an EAP writing course. Two groups of students were taught writing by two different methods: one group was taught by a teacher in a traditional classroom, while a second group included use of an on-line web-site in their course. The two groups were assessed in the same way after a twelve-week period of instruction. Results of the assessment showed significant differences between the two groups, the group that used the on-line web-site performing much better on all aspects of the test. This suggests that the use of computer assisted learning programmes for at least some of the teaching time available can be recommended for EAP writing courses.
Example 2:
The paper under discussion covers the area of radio engineering and deals with a problem of low frequency signals and their quadrature modulation. Its key idea is to introduce the basic unconvert principles for quadrature low-frequency signals carried by means of direct digital synthesis. The engineering approach to the problem is based on upconversion methodology to suggest innovative solutions for low-frequency signals by means of integrated circuits. Besides, a problem of transformation without loss of quality is thoroughly considered. The results of laboratory studies on direct digital synthesis are analyzed in detail. Particular attention is given to the main parameters of signals with view to their transformation characteristics. The data obtained are backed up by the figures given to illustrate the main transformation processes and their properties. The material presented can open new prospects for further research studies. It seems to be interesting to those who work in the field of digital radio engineering.
Example 3:
The article contains the results of analyzing personal peculiarities of two different comparison groups of officers. The analysis was conducted in order to determine the factors of suicidal risk. The officers were examined when entering the service. Various factor structures of personal characteristics were determined for each of the groups. The article also reveals the peculiarities of reacting to psycho-traumatic situations and determines the differences in protective psychological mechanisms, peculiarities of emergence and development of psychological desadaptation states.
