1.1. Structure of research
Topic / Theme of Research
| The theme of our investigation is | |
| The theme of our exploration is devoted to |
Relevance of the Topic (Motivation for the Study)
| The problem of is one of the most important. | . |
| The actual range of problems is much wider. | . |
| The problem of has not lost its topical significance. | |
| The problem became more acute, it took a new form. | , . |
| The problem requires a detailed study. | . |
| The question of has become acute. | . |
| Much has been done in the field of but undoubtedly much remains to be done in it. | , , , . |
| Although a number of issues have been analyzed and discussed much remains to be done in the field of | , , |
| The problem has not received all the attention it deserves. | . |
| At present there is a growing interest in | |
| The problem arises (is / was raised) in connection with | / ) , |
Object of Research
|
|
|
| The object of our exploration is | |
| The following study is concerned with | |
| The study of raises several interesting problems of a general nature. | . |
| It requires a detailed study of | |
| It requires a direct study of | |
| We will deal with | |
| We will examine the (relations between ) | ( ) |
| It would be instructive to examine in detail from the point of view of | |
| We will explore | |
| We are occupied with the problem of |
Subject of Research
| The topic of our investigation (exploration, work) is | |||
| The problem of is in the focus of attention of | |||
| Here we need to consider the problem of | |||
| Thus the core of the problem is | , | ||
| We turn our attention to a new and more urgent problem. | . | ||
| In this light we must face the problem |
Aims of Research
| The (main) aim of the paper is | () |
| To attain our aim we must consider | |
| One of the chief aims was to test hypothesis | |
| It is the main aim of this chapter to examine some of the main causes of | |
| At present we do not set the aim of | |
| The overall goals of require a prior concern with the general problem of | |
| In the framework of the first objective to achieve is | |
| The purpose of our work is to examine and investigate and consequently to determine more precisely | , |
| For this purpose we may examine an example from | |
| It is the purpose of this investigation to explain the principles of this viewpoint | |
| Research Questions | |
| Our objective is the investigation of | |
| It is not our purpose to describe | |
| Our task consists in | , |
| Our task is to show | , |
| The main task is as follows | |
| For carrying out this task it is necessary | |
| The primary task is to study | |
| The task requires considerable rethinking and revision | |
| One of the first tasks was to verify and if possible to amplify knowledge of | , |
Hypotheses of Research
|
|
|
| It is necessary to accept the hypothesis | |
| One may put forward a working hypothesis for explaining this phenomenon | |
| We are to form a working hypothesis about | |
| It may be assumed like a working hypothesis. | . |
| These data confirm our hypothesis. | . |
Methods of Investigation
| There are different approaches to the solution of the problem. | . |
| The approach used here is | , , |
| An important way of approaching the matter is | |
| This is a reasonable and practical approach. | . |
| A modern approach to this problem of is based on (consists in ) | ( ) |
| Before we can begin to use this method of analysis we have to deal with | , |
| Our work is being carried out in the following directions | |
| The simplest way of solving this problem lies in | |
| The methods of analysis are | |
| Our approach is to study |
Original Contribution
| It is the first attempt of the scientific approach to the problem of | |
| he main features of our approach are | |
| We have developed a new approach to the phenomena under consideration. | . |
| Our approach will make it possible to clear up. | |
| We have succeeded in finding a convenient approach to | |
| Such an approach has made it possible to understand the reasons for | |
| The method of research provides a reasonably objective criterion | |
| It is in keeping with the methods adopted to solve the problems of | , |
| This method has thrown light upon | |
| The application of the new method allows us to | |
| There is nothing with which the analysis can be compared |
Significance
| The question of great practical importance deals with | , , |
| A special significance attaches to | |
| What is significant is | , |
| In fact it is the first work of general synthesis in which complex problems of are posed and given new answers | , , |
| The problem raised by assumed a place of first importance | |
| What is important is | , |
Conclusions
|
|
|
| A complex approach to the study of allowed me not only to analyze precisely the materials but to reach specific conclusions, based on the analysis | , |
| We must conclude that | , , |
| From this we can conclude | |
| Having described we must conclude in general that | , (, ) |
| On the basis of the work made we have come to the following conclusion | |
| These facts give rise to important conclusions | |
| We would like to sum up the main points we made above | , |
| Summing up the results of our research we would like to say | , |
| It could be summarized in the following way | |
| The results of the work show that | , |
