Grammar Focus – noun chains (n-n-n…- n) (1)
Цепочка существительных (noun chain) – это вид словосочетания, представляющий собой ряд трех или более существительных, определяющих одно понятие. В таких словосочетаниях главное существительное, выполняющее непосредственно функцию существительного, стоит всегда в конце цепочки, а все предшествующие слова, связанные с ним, являются определениями. В начале словосочетания, как правило, стоит артикль или другой определитель. Такие словосочетания являются характерной спецификой английского языка, особенно часто встречаются в научных текстах и публицистике. Они строятся по схеме:
Определение 1 (N1) Определение 2 (N2) … N (Главное слово)
Существительные, выступающие в роли определения, переводятся на русский язык: - существительным в родительном падеже sign language – язык знаков pump modification – доработка насоса an institute building - здание института - прилагательным satellite communication – спутниковая связь light waves - световые волны - оборотом с предлогом an exchange contract – договор об обмене
distance communication – общение на расстоянии - причастным оборотом war damage - ущерб, нанесенный войной Существительные-определения чаще всего используются в единственном числе, даже если по-русски имеется в виду множественное число: a test result indicator – индикатор результатов контроля В некоторых случаях множественное число у существительных-определений сохраняется, если необходимо подчеркнуть множественность предмета, в этом случае определяющее существительное во множественном числе никогда не переводится прилагательным. При этом также можно использовать конструкцию с предлогом of: a documents list – перечень документов
