      There was a very light off-shore wind and scarcely any breakers, so that the approach to the shore was continued without finding bottom; yet though we were already quite close, we saw no indication of any indention in the coast from which even a tiny brooklet might issue, and certainly no mouth of a large river such as this must necessarily be to freshen the ocean even two hundred yards from shore.

  • “issue”, in Trésor de la langue française informatisé [Digitized Treasury of the French Language], 2012.

Middle English[edit]

Etymology 1[edit]

Borrowed from Old French issue (exit), from issu, past participle of issir, eissir. Compare issen.

Forms with /ʃ/ mostly do not reflect palatalisation of /s/ (as in modern English); instead, they exist because Old French /s(s)/ was perceived as being phonetically closer to Middle English /ʃ/ than to /s/.

• Во всех указанных вы­ше зна­че­ни­ях, за иск­лю­че­ни­ем по­след­них двух, обо­зна­ча­ю­щих дей­ст­вие, су­ще­ст­ви­тель­ное is­sue ис­чис­ля­е­мое (an is­sue, the is­sue, is­sues, the is­sues), на­при­мер:

the date of issue – да­та вы­да­чи, да­та вы­пус­ка, да­та эмис­сии

the issue of passports – вы­да­ча пас­пор­тов

4. Несколько слов об упо­треб­ле­нии ар­тик­лей в вы­ра­же­нии the is­sue of smth / is­sues of smth – во­прос че­го-л. / во­про­сы че­го-л.

Артикли после of в этом вы­ра­же­нии упо­треб­ля­ют­ся по об­ще­му пра­ви­лу упо­треб­ле­ния ар­тик­лей с су­ще­ст­ви­тель­ны­ми.

Соответственно:

• если существительное не­ис­чис­ля­е­мое и упо­треб­ля­ет­ся в об­щем, абс­тракт­ном смыс­ле, то ар­тикль во­об­ще не ста­вит­ся, на­при­мер:

the issue of crime and pun­ish­ment – во­прос пре­ступ­ле­ния и на­ка­за­ния
(в данном случае ‘crime’ и ‘pun­ish­ment’ – это абс­тракт­ные не­ис­чис­ля­е­мые су­ще­ст­ви­тель­ные, по­сколь­ку озна­ча­ют, со­от­вет­ст­вен­но, «пре­ступ­ле­ние» и «на­ка­за­ние» во­об­ще, как яв­ле­ние жиз­ни, а не ка­кие-то кон­крет­ные слу­чаи)

• если существительное не­ис­чис­ля­е­мое и упо­треб­ля­ет­ся не в об­щем, абс­тракт­ном смыс­ле, а в кон­крет­ном, то ста­вит­ся оп­ре­де­лён­ный ар­тикль the, на­при­мер:

the issue of the legali­zation of weap­ons – во­прос ле­га­ли­за­ции ору­жия
(в данном случае мы го­во­рим не о ле­га­ли­за­ции во­об­ще – в об­щем, абс­тракт­ном смыс­ле, а о впол­не кон­крет­ной ле­га­ли­за­ции – ору­жия)

• если существительное ис­чис­ля­е­мое, то ар­тик­ли упо­треб­ля­ют­ся в за­ви­си­мо­сти от си­ту­а­ции, на­при­мер:

the issue of students fail­ing their exams – во­прос не­сда­чи эк­за­ме­нов уча­щи­ми­ся
(дословно – вопрос зава­ли­ва­ю­щих эк­за­ме­ны уча­щих­ся)

the issue of the student who has failed all his exams – во­прос не сдав­ше­го (за­ва­лив­ше­го) все эк­за­ме­ны уче­ни­ка
(ученик конкретный, всем из­вест­ный)

the issue of a student who has failed all his exams – во­прос не­ко­его уче­ни­ка, не сдав­ше­го (за­ва­лив­ше­го) все эк­за­ме­ны

В примере 3 урока по­чти все су­ще­ст­ви­тель­ные не­ис­чис­ля­е­мые и упо­треб­ля­ют­ся в об­щем, абс­тракт­ном смыс­ле. От­сю­да и от­сут­ст­вие ар­тик­ля. По ощу­ще­ни­ям, чис­то ста­ти­с­ти­че­ски, в ре­аль­ной жиз­ни та­кая си­ту­а­ция встре­ча­ет­ся ча­ще все­го.

5. Обратите внимание на по­ря­док слов в при­ме­ре 16:

At issue are the moral prin­ci­ples that are be­ing com­pro­mised here – Во­прос в мо­раль­ных прин­ци­пах, ко­то­рые здесь на­ру­ша­ют­ся

Вообще, как мы знаем, в ан­глий­ском язы­ке нор­мой яв­ля­ет­ся пря­мой по­ря­док слов: под­ле­жа­щее – ска­зу­е­мое. Здесь же мы ви­дим их об­рат­ный по­ря­док.

Такой порядок слов воз­мо­жен, но ха­рак­те­рен для до­ста­точ­но вы­со­ко­го сти­ля, на­при­мер:

Below is an example of how we can do it – Ни­же дан при­мер то­го, как мы мо­жем это сде­лать

Nearby was a palatial man­sion – Ря­дом сто­ял ве­ли­че­ст­вен­ный особ­няк

Это ни в коем случае не на­ру­ше­ние грам­ма­ти­ки, а про­сто сред­ст­во до­ста­то­чно об­раз­но­го, в час­т­но­сти ли­те­ра­тур­но­го ото­бра­же­ния дей­ст­ви­тель­но­сти, но кон­крет­но нам зло­упо­треб­лять та­ким по­ряд­ком слов не нуж­но. Бу­дем упо­треб­лять его толь­ко в тех ред­ких слу­ча­ях, ко­гда он дей­ст­ви­тель­но необ­хо­дим.

6. При отработке упраж­не­ния об­ра­ти­те вни­ма­ние на упо­треб­ле­ние при­ла­га­тель­но­го lat­est в при­ме­рах 18 и 19. Мно­гие в та­ких слу­ча­ях оши­боч­но го­во­рят last.

Особенности употреб­ле­ния при­ла­га­тель­ных last и lat­est см. здесь.

7. Слово issue часто ис­поль­зу­ет­ся вмес­то prob­lem как бо­лее мяг­кий ва­ри­ант обо­зна­че­ния проб­лем. Осо­бен­но на пись­ме.

Но аналогичное явление мы на­блю­да­ем и в рус­ском язы­ке: сло­во во­прос мы не ме­нее ча­с­то ис­поль­зу­ем вмес­то сло­ва проб­ле­ма. Так что здесь прак­ти­че­ски пол­ное со­впа­де­ние меж­ду рус­ским и ан­глий­ским язы­ка­ми, что очень удоб­но.

8. В следующем уроке мы рас­смот­рим гла­гол is­sue.

9. Проверьте правильность про­из­но­ше­ния сле­ду­ю­щих слов [BrE || AmE]:

is′su·er n.

is′sue·less adj.

Usage Note: People often use issue to refer to a problem, difficulty, or condition, especially an embarrassing or discrediting one. The word is frequently used in the plural. Thus, a business executive who has been accused of fraud is said to have legal issues, a company facing bankruptcy has financial issues, and a person who picks fights may have anger management issues. Some people dislike this usage, claiming that it is imprecise or euphemistic. The majority of the Usage Panel frowned on it in 2002, but in just over ten years, opinion has shifted such that a majority now find it acceptable. In our 2013 survey, 78 percent of the Usage Panel accepted issue in these examples: That kid has issues and needs to see the guidance counselor. I don’t want to hire someone who has issues with carrying out orders from an authority. Although the acceptance was lukewarm (about a third of the panelists found these sentences only «somewhat acceptable»), this is a substantial increase over the 39 percent who accepted similar sentences in 2002. A similar shift of opinion has occurred concerning the use of issue for a technical problem. In 2002, only 18 percent of Panelists approved of the sentence There were a number of issues installing the printer driver in the new release of the software. By 2013, approval had risen to 68 percent. Although issue is now widely acceptable, choosing another word, such as glitch, problem, or complication, can often lend precision to your writing.

One copy of «Celebrities are Cool» magazine is an issue. It is issued, or put out, by the publisher. You and your mother may argue over the issue, or topic, of whether or not you should read it.

The original meaning of the word issue was to put something out. If a celebrity issues a statement or the post office issues new stamps, they put them out for the public. Likewise, an issue is a current topic, sometimes controversial, that is being discussed. Politicians often say they want to talk about the issues (and not their personal lives!). You might hear someone say, «He’s got issues» about a person who has some problems, usually emotional ones, but this is a very new use for the word.
