Abstract
The order of words in a Russian sentence is so similar to the word order employed in English that only three points seem worthy of mention in this case. In Greek and German, an adjectival phrase will often precede a noun; in English, a relative clause is used. Words or phrases referring to a place are usually introduced into a sentence as early as possible. In English, “There are many criminals in London” and “In London there are many criminals” are used indifferently; in Russian, the second alternative would normally be adopted. In Italian and many other languages, placing of the direct object before the verb with the subject following is very common. This chapter discusses word-formation in Russian and presents a list of some words along with their meanings. The purpose of the list is to help the student acquire a basic reading knowledge of Russian.
