This article presents a modified procedure for identifying the Russian adverbial modifier or predicative complement and providing its correct English equivalent by mechanical translation. Earlier, attempts were made to formulate an unambiguous set of operational instructions which would enable an electronic computer to deal with a certain problem in the syntax of Russian; namely, to identify the Russian adverbial modifier or predicative complement, and to supply its correct English equivaIent. The set of instructions which we developed was based upon the examination of approximately 31,000 running words of Russian scientific text.
