The textbook is intended for students studying in the specialty "Translation and Translation Studies." The teaching materials of the manual are compiled in accordance with the goals and objectives of the new course "Literary Editing," developed at the Russian language department of the Moscow State Linguistic University to prepare an editor-translator who analyzes translated texts. This manual is very necessary in the process of professional training of translators, since its purpose is not only to form the linguistic taste of the future specialist, but also to teach the basics of self-editing, as well as the rules for constructing texts of different genres. This explains the relevance of the manual.
