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
