Progression Patterns

 This article is dedicated to studying thematic progression as a text-forming and discourse-forming phenomenon. The notion of thematic progression is analyzed in terms of the functional sentence perspective theory, theory of actual division of the sentence, and discourse linguistics. Thematic progression contributes to the cohesive development of discourse, distribution of given and new information that needs to follow certain patterns. That is why the article also dwells on the thematic progression patterns and peculiar characteristics of their themeatic-rhematic organization. Basic thematic progression patterns are: simple linear thematic progression, thematic progression with a continuous (constant) theme, thematic progression with derived themes and thematic progression with a split rheme. They are considered to be universal, peculiar to many languages. That is why thematic progression patterns of English discourse units translated into Russian language often remain the same. Their high informativity, grammatical complexity, as well as differences in grammatical systems of English and Russian languages, necessity to adapt these units to the norms and rules of the Russian language can cause changes in thematic progression patterns of the translated units. The abovementioned facts can also lead to compression / decompression of information, changes of the word order in Russian translations.

The aim of the study was to develop linguistic and methodological theoretical aspects of training the skill of paraphrasing, which constitutes an important element of reading literacy. To this end, the authors reviewed research and educational publications in the field of teaching the Russian language and conducted a pedagogical experiment to analyse pedagogical processes. Interrelation between the infosphere and axiosphere of Russian language lessons within the pedagogical discourse involves the division of didactic texts into informational and axiological, including modern linguistic and ethnographic texts that manifest Russian cultural concepts in the new information age. It is shown that various aspects of teaching paraphrasing and interpretation techniques on the basis of informational texts have already been elucidated quite efficiently. However, formation of the axiological component of reading literacy (teaching to paraphrase on the basis of linguo-ethnographic texts) has been undertaken within the framework of the present study for the first time. These issues should be considered comprehensively, in the context of language and values-based development of a personality.

The concept of “morphological / grammatical means” is widely used in studies on the Russian language, although there is no generally accepted interpretation. This work analyzes the reflection of this concept in Russian studies and clarifies the status of those linguistic units that are traditionally referred to as morphological means: form-building affixes, alternating sounds (internal inflection), stress, supplementary word stems, auxiliary words, intonation, as well as word order. Our research has shown that these linguistic units have different functional status in the morphological structure of the Russian language. First, these are categorical, or actually morphological, means, represented by formative affixes and auxiliary words. They are carriers of morphological meanings in the structure of abstracted morphological forms – the basic units of inflectional Russian morphology. Secondly, a non-categorical means, syncretic and accidental for morphology, are supplementary stems that contain not only lexical, but also morphological meaning and thus duplicate the expression of morphological information in a word form with a form-building affix. Thirdly, these are linguistic units that are not elements of the morphological structure, but have morphological significance, which is manifested in their ability to differentiate homonymous morphological forms in the structure of word forms (alternating sounds and stress) or utterances (intonation). Word order can also perform a similar function. The study allows us to clarify the definition of the concept under consideration: morphological means are linguistic units that are carriers of morphological meanings and constituents of morphological forms.

The definiteness and indefiniteness is an important communicative category. This category is universal and is expressed in different languages by various means. There are no special indicators of definiteness / indefiniteness such as articles in the Russian language. However, these values are expressed by various means related to different levels of the language. Due to this fact, word order is an important and an interesting subject for a linguistic research. As a grammatical means, word order can convey not only information, but also the attitude to this information or communicative situation of the speaker, and also to concretize the content of the spoken message from the point of view of definiteness / indefiniteness. This study focuses on describing the means of expressing the category of definiteness and indefiniteness in Russian and the ways of conveying its semantic shades.

The aim of the articleis to study peculiarities of nominations of minerals in Russian and in its regional version, in the socio-lexicon of the Ural mining workers. For this purpose, a methodological procedure was developed based on the methods of corpus linguistics and an exemplary analysis of the semantic field mineral (minerals) in Russian was performed. The theoretical and methodological procedure is based on the semantic field theory,theory of divergence andthelexical approachproposed by Kevechs. As the material of the study were used the tales (skazy) of Pavel Bazhov .The tales (narrations) of Bazhov are a bright representation of the Ural folklore, regional perception of natural objects, their metaphorical reinterpretation , enrichment of semantic fields associated with the occupation of the inhabitants of the region, with additional semantic meanings. The results of the study reflect the presence of significant differences in the semantic structure of lexemes-nominations of minerals in the Russian language and its regional variant.

From the point of view of history of color names in Russian language the records of the first representative of Russia in the Polish-Lithuanian state (V. M. Tyapkin) not published in full are of significant value. The most abundant in respect to the color were the records relating to the events of 1676, which is explained by the mass activities that occurred at this time — such as a magnificent funeral of the Polish kings and the coronation of the new monarch. Analysis of the source showed that belyy, zolotoy, krasny, and chernyy are represented with greater frequency. Most often, color designations were used to convey the appearance of fabrics, banners made of them, clothing; less often — interiors and decorations, the color of animals and the appearance of persons. The study determines that the terms krasny and zolotoy were specified by similar concepts, which are different variations on the theme of these colors: zlatoy, zolotnyy; as well as rumyanets, skarlatnyy, chervonnyy and chervchatyy. However, as it turned out, the language “palette” of the document is somewhat poorer than the expressive means of the Russian language of the 17th century. Nevertheless, the residency materials help to clarify the existence of certain lexemes and reveal their etymology. The author introduces new information about the use in speech of educated representatives of the Moscow Russia vocabulary units barvyanyy, farba, and specifies the history of using the term tsvetnoy. A unique case has been identified: the writing of zlatopisanyy — zolotopisannyy is inherent in the monument under study, and we do not know any other examples of its use during this period. Another variant of the well-known word, zolototsvetnyy, found in the source under study, was discovered in the works of M. V. Lomonosov.

[Rev. of: Gradinarova Alla A., Essays on the Comparative Syntax of Bulgarian and Russian, Sofia: Iztok-Zapad, 2017, 500 pp.] This article presents a review of the book by a major Bulgarian researcher of Russian, professor of Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski” Alla Gradinarova, whose scholarly interests focus mainly on the contrastive syntax of Bulgarian and Russian. In the new monograph, the author concentrates largely on the points of divergence in these languages stemming from their typological differences: passive voice and syntactic impersonality, word order, communicatively marked phrasal templates, various types of multi-clause structures ranging from verbal adverb phrases to complex and asyndetic sentences, etc. The contrastive analysis of the language data helps to reveal significant characteristics of the studied phenomena. This allows the use of the obtained results and data not only in typology and contrastive linguistics, but also in the study of the Russian language, as the approach of the author in her studies is based on a profound analysis of Russian data. The book constitutes a major contribution to studies in contrastive syntax of Slavic languages.

В статье исследуется проблема понятия «комплемент» в китайском предложении. Автор рассматривает трудности овладения комплементом, что объясняется его отсутствием как грамматической категории в системе русского языка, разнообразием функций, многозначностью, зависимостью от ряда параметров коммуникативной ситуации, необходимостью соблюдать порядок слов и другими факторами. В работе приводится составленная автором диаграмма, наглядно демонстрирующая, какие именно типы комплемента вызывают наибольшие трудности, по мнению самих студентов. Предлагаемая типология упражнений учитывает субъективные трудности студентов, учит целенаправленно преодолевать их, а затем распределять внимание между несколькими трудностями в условиях, имитирующих реальное общение. The paper deals with the problem of complement in the Chinese sentence. The author examines the difficulties of studying the complement, explained by its absence as a grammatical category in the Russian language system, a variety of functions, polysemy, dependence on a number of parameters of the communicative situation, the need to observe word order and other factors. The work provides a diagram compiled by the author, clearly demonstrating which types of complement cause the greatest difficulties, according to the students' opinion. The proposed typology of exercises takes into account the challenges that are subjectively felt by students, teaches to purposefully overcome each difficulty, and to distribute attention among several difficulties in conditions that imitate real communication.

Данная работа посвящена описанию особенностей синтаксиса одного из первых памятников южноселькупской письменности, записанных св. Макарием (Невским) «Беседы об истинном Боге и истиной вере на наречии обских остяков». Анализируемый материал относится к средне¬обскому диалекту селькупского языка. Перевод памятника на селькупский был сделан св. Макарием с алтайского языка, а к тексту приложен буквальный русский перевод. Текст памятника был проанализирован на выявление порядков следования в нем основных элементов предложения: S — субъект, V — предикат, O — прямой объект. Доминирующими порядками слов текста памятника являются SOV, SV и OV, что соответствует порядку слов в самодийский языках в целом и в селькупском в частности. В тексте памятника распространены специальные конструкции, состоящие из имперфектного деепричастия и глагола и нефинитные клаузы с именами действия в локативном падеже для выражения обстоятельства времени. При сравнении с более современными среднеобскими текстами конструкции с имперфектным деепричастием и глаголом по-прежнему частотны, в то время как примеры с именем действия в локативном падеже отсутствуют. Вместо них используются финитные клаузы с союзами или союзными словами. Бессоюзный тип связи однородных членов предложения и сложносочиненных предложений сочетается в памятнике с параллельным использованием союзов и союзных слов, что в диахроническом аспекте можно рассматривать как развивающуюся инновацию. При сравнении с более поздними материалами по среднеобским говорам шёшкумов / шёшкупов можно утверждать, что использование союзов и союзных слов закрепилось в них. The aim of this work is to describe the syntactic features of one of the first written monuments in southern Selkup by St. Macarius (Nevsky) «Conversations About the True God and True Faith in the Dialect of Ob Ostyaks». The analyzed material is included in the Central-Ob dialect of the Selkup language. The translation of the monument into Selkup was made by St. Macarius from the Altaic language. The literal Russian translation is also attached to the text. The text of the monument was analyzed to identify the order of the main constituents of the sentence: S — subject, V — predicate, O — direct object. The dominant word orders of the text are SOV, SV и OV, which fully correspond to the word order in Samoyedic languages in general and in Selkup in particular. Special constructions consisting of an imperfect converb and a verb, as well as infinite clauses with a nomen actionis in the locative case to express the circumstance of time, are spread in the text. When compared with modern Middle-Ob texts, constructions with imperfect converbs and verbs are still frequent, while examples with a nomen actionis in the locative case are absent. Instead of them finite clauses with the connectives and connective words are used. The conjunctionless link type of the homogeneous parts of the sentence, as well as of complex sentences, is common. Connectives and connective words, including those borrowed from the Russian language, are also used. Comparing the obtained data with modern materials on the Middle-Ob dialect, no significant changes are noted in this aspect. The conjunctionless link type of the homogeneous parts of the sentence, as well as of complex sentences, is combined with parallel use of connectives and connective words, including those borrowed from the Russian language. Comparing the obtained data with modern materials on the Middle-Ob dialect, the use of connectives and connective words gained a foothold.
