appositives

Обособленное приложение в предложение , которое помогает раскрыть значение незнакомого слова или словосочетания.

Example

Whether psychology should be classified as a biological or social science was a

contentious issue among scholars until 1960, after which time it was increasingly

described as a behavioral science; the science of the behavior of

organisms.

Example translation

The meaning of “behavioral science” is identified by its appositive, “the science of the

behavioral science.”

Translator's comment

An appositive [a noun or noun phrase which is set off by commas and which

modifies another noun] can help you to identify the meaning of an unknown word.
