1. Inflexional, i.e. it has a wide system of

case word forms, complex grammar and syntactical meanings are synthesized

in one word: созвониться

to make an agrrement that one of the interlocutors will make a call

3. A lot of nouns, especially verbal nouns and

an abundance of genitive case forms in bookish and official

styles: крик ребенка артистки театра

3. A verb is preferrable:
The actress’s baby is crying.
NB: in colloquial speech, though, nouns are frequent: Can you hear the baby’s shriek?

4. A lot of «negative» words, constructions with the

negation «не» and double negation; the method of expressing the

thought “from the reverse” is frequent: Вы не знаете, сколько времени?

English
4. Affirmative sentences prevail, negative structures are rare, double negation is extremely rare: Could you tell me the time, please? E.g.: Я не мог не сказать ему об этом - I had to tell him about it.

Basic DifferencesRussian4. A lot of «negative» words, constructions with the negation «не» and double negation; the method

5. Russian sentences are longer than English ones, the

reason: Russian syllables and words are approxi -mately 30-50% longer

in Russian. We, Russians, are fond of long and colorful phrases.

English
5. The English text is composed of comparatively short sentences, it is «ethical» to use short words and brief structures. NB: In translation divide Russian sentences into 2-3 short ones.

6. A lot of abstract words and generalizations in

official, scientific, and publicistic texts. E.g.:
У нас очень своеобразная ментальность:

посягаем на возвышенное, не обращая внимания на реальное. [Burak, p.147]

English
6. Specific words prevail, generaliza -tions are implied rather than explicitely worded. E.g.: We have a special kind of mentality: We aspire to lofty things and ignore our everyday needs.

7. Modality of assertion prevails, other forms of modality

are not explicit. NB for a tran-slator: Avoid straight-forwardness typical

for the Russian language and speech.

English
7. Complex modality is typical, the expression of probability admit- ing doubt. Modal words are frequent: seems to, apparently, I would think, presu -mably, allegedly, etc.

Basic DifferencesRussian7. Modality of assertion prevails, other forms of modality are not explicit. NB for a tran-slator:

8. The order of words in
a sentence plays a

great
semantic role, the most
important word stands at
the beginning. E.g.:
Вам

этого не понять.
Этого вам не понять.
Не понять вам этого.

English
8. The word order is
fixed, semantic shades of
meaning are expressed by
other means. In English
there can be one variant:
You won’t understand this
[plus intonation].

ween bookish and colloqu-

ial styles. There is a clear-
cut difference between
functional styles (scienti-
fic,

publicist, business,
etc.) within literary style.

English
10. A much weaker differ-
ence between literary and
colloquial styles. Practical-
ly no varieties within
literary style (the term
«functional style» is a rare
one in English stylistics).

11.Russian oratory style
is rather heavy and elo-
quent at the

same time.
It amply uses parallel-
isms, enumerations,
EM’s and SD’s, set

phrases, like «и так
далее».

English
English oratory style is
much quieter, more
neutral, emotions are
suspended. There are less
repetitions, colorful or
expressive adjectives or
epithets, sharp express-
ions or invectives.
