Logical fundamentals of editing the oil and gas text
I. Read the following text.
Logical fundamentals of editing the scientific text are one of the main
stages of the text editing, because it provides an opportunity to show the essence of
the scientific text that readers will understand. In order to understand the basic
principles of logical analysis of the text, one should have an idea of at least a brief
description of its origin and perception. By considering the text as a language
product, we generally cover only one of the last links in these processes. What is
usually called the text and what appears in each individual case as the result of a
particular speech act (fixed to the same by certain means) is, in fact, a complex
phenomenon. In the linguistic aspect, first of all, the retrospective scheme from
speech to language should be continued. The acceptable delineation of the
concepts of "language" and "speech" in linguistic history allows you to resume the
process of occurrence of the text as follows: language - speech - text. The overall
picture of the creation of the text from this point of view is as follows. People
understand each other because they express their thoughts together (typically - by
using a particular national language).
This language contains a certain stock of relatively simple expressions and a
set of rules by which they are transformed and combined into more complex
expressions. Both simple expressions and rules by which they are converted and
combined into a complex, equally familiar to both the person that creates the text
and the person that perceives it. Otherwise, the text would have lost one of its most
important func Logical fundamentals of editing the scientific text are one of the
