Transition from Gesture and Gesture Nomination to Phraseology by E. R. Ioanesyan

“…The study showed that the transition from gestural nomination to gestural phraseology is often accompanied by a change in the actant structure of the original unit. One of the signs of the transition from gesture to gesture phraseology is the generalization of the situation — the generalization of one of the actants of the situation, which is expressed by the presence in the sentence of quantifier units that form universal noun phrases with nouns. …”

Oil and gas potential of the deep-lying Jurassic and pre Jurassic deposits of the North of Western Siberia in unconventional traps by V. L. Shuster, S. A. Punanova

“…Based on the first constructed series of model maps with probabilistic values of informative geochemical and geological parameters, the most promising both local and regional objects were selected.Increasing complexity of the traps structure with depth was noted. As a rule, from the Cretaceous deposits to the Jurassic and Paleozoic, the type of trap from the predominant anticline (in the Cretaceous) changes to a much more complex combined one, which requires special approaches (and new technologies) to identify and explore such objects. …”
