About this title

Synopsis

A mildly amended translation of the original Russian edition of 1974 (Moscow: Nauka). Offers an English-speaking audience a key to understanding the meanings of Russian words the principle of transformation, i.e. the transformation (in Russian) of a single idea into a variety of words and expressions revealing various aspects of the idea. Apresjan provides the Russian language student/user both the facts of which Russian word goes with which meaning transformation, and the theory behind it, so that users can take advantage of Russian's transformative power in their own communication with Russians. A companion software translation and dictionary package for DOS systems, RELEX , is available for $175. The book/software set is available to American Library Association members for $250. Published by Karoma Publishers, Inc., 3400 Daleview Dr., Ann Arbor, MI 48105 (phone 313-665-3331). Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
