I invite you to listen to the parable of the wise Aesop. Once, guests came to a feast to a rich and famous merchant, one of them said to the owner: “The whole city knows that you have a witty and resourceful slave. Send him to the market, let him bring us the most beautiful thing in the world. The owner ordered to call Aesop. Do you hear, Aesop, here's some money for you, go to the market and buy the most beautiful thing in the world. The slave leaves and returns with a tray covered with a napkin. They lift it up, and there lies the tongue. Aesop, did you bring the language? Isn't that the most beautiful thing in the world? With the tongue we pronounce the words of tenderness, fidelity, love, with the tongue we proclaim peace, with the tongue we pronounce the word "freedom". After a while, someone prompts the owner: - Let your slave go and bring the most terrible thing in the world. with the same tray. Under the napkin lies the tongue. There is no limit to the surprise of the guests. Aesop, you brought the tongue again? Isn't that the most terrible thing in the world? With the tongue we pronounce words of hatred, with the tongue we declare war, with the tongue we pronounce the word "slave".

We offer you two themes:

The Russian language is a language created for poetry, it is unusually rich and remarkable mainly for its subtlety of shades.

“Language is the history of the people.

Language is the way of civilization and culture...

That is why the study and preservation of the Russian language

is not an idle occupation with nothing to do,

but an urgent need

(A.I. Kuprin)

Language, according to the dictionary of S.I. Ozhegov, is the main means of communication, an instrument for the exchange of thoughts and mutual understanding of people in society. It helps to learn the world, accumulate knowledge, receive and store information.

Language arose in ancient times, satisfying the need of people to communicate. He helped them to understand each other, to unite in communities for food or to fight enemies and natural disasters. With the development of the language, the tools of labor and the material standard of human life improved.

Each nation has its own history, and we would not know it if people did not speak the language as the main way of transmitting information. After all, in the distant past, when only chroniclers could write, all the events that took place were passed from mouth to mouth. From generation to generation, people described their way of life, customs and traditions, bloody wars, victories and defeats. Sharing thoughts and observations, telling the new generation about the past, the people wrote their own history. Language was the memory of the people. With its help, everyone could touch the ancient historical events.

Gaining more knowledge about the world in which they lived, people developed and soon found themselves on the path to civilization. Society began to communicate with other peoples, go beyond the boundaries of its own territory, establishing close relations with other tribes, with neighboring states. They exchanged experiences, suggesting to each other how best to enter the different situations, helped in the development and improvement of farming. Talking to each other, noticing differences among themselves, people formed their own ethnic culture. All this led to the formation of the national language - Russian.

Russian is one of the most widely spoken languages ​​in the world. No wonder they say that he is great and powerful. But there are many cases in history when a very difficult task- save the Russian language. For example, in the era of Peter I, when the tsar “opened a window to Europe”, a fashion for everything French appeared among the nobility: for clothes, food, elements of culture. More often heard in high society French speech, not Russian. Nobles and peasants began to speak different languages and, as a result, there was a stratification of society. Fortunately, folklore collectors, poets and writers of the 18th-19th centuries, such as D.I. Fonvizin, V.I. Dal, A.S. Pushkin, were able to instill in the people a love for the inexhaustibly rich Russian language.

The study and preservation of the flexible, majestic, multifaceted Russian language is impossible without patriotism, without boundless love. Need to study native language and speak correctly. Language is a strong thread that connects the past, present and future of people. As long as society preserves the national Russian language, Russian culture is alive, the Russian people are alive. And this is very important!

"Language is the history of the people. Language is the path of civilization and culture. Therefore, the study and preservation of the Russian language is not an idle occupation from nothing to do, but an urgent need."
Alexander Kuprin


I will make a timid attempt to interest you in my native (for whom, of course...) language and tell you a little about one wonderful program released by MediaHouse. " Russian language course"is intended for the circle of users who not only study or have studied at school, but also remember at least a few spelling rules in Russian. The only drawback that this course has is incomprehensible to my understanding: the rules themselves are completely absent on the disk! That is if in one of the exercises you are asked how to spell, say, the particle "not" in one case or another, it is assumed that you know the rule and are quite able to answer this question without additional refreshment of your own memory :). So here, most likely, the principle of visual memory operates, which is also not bad for learning or repeating a language that is quite difficult even for natives, not to mention foreigners.
The program is designed for self-study, calculated (according to the developers) for one year with classes 2-4 hours a week. Of course, this is just a recommendation and is not binding. The course includes topics studied in grades 5 - 11, that is, from the moment when students begin to be taught spelling and punctuation.

Composition and structure

The entire course consists of five levels, each level, in turn, includes several topics with exercises, final assignments and dictation.

Moreover, I can admit that it is very gratifying that you can listen to the dictation both phrase-by-phrase and in full. Or even take dictation, as you like. If you don't hear a phrase, you can always go back to it by rewinding it.


I was very pleased with the task on time and attentiveness. Imagine: a boat is sailing from point "A" to point "B", on which some word from the rule is written with one missing letter. Two variants of letters are given, which are most often written by people (naturally, one option is correct, the other is not). You are required to choose one of the letters before the ship reaches point "B". If you answered correctly, the ship is in fast pace goes under full sail, wrong - fun and joyfully sinking before your eyes. Entertaining and informative :).


For those who are tired of performing all sorts of tasks and tests, there is an opportunity to relax without leaving the cash desk - especially for these purposes, the program has a section "Do you know?" It includes short stories like this one:

"The famous poet, translator and theoretician of versification Vasily Kirillovich Trediakovsky, irritated by the mockery of the court jester, asked him:
- Do you know, jester, what is, for example, a question mark?
The jester glanced at the stooped figure of Trediakovsky and answered:
"The question mark is a little hunchbacked figure that asks ridiculous questions."



All other stories are about the same.

As soon as you start doing any exercise, general list topics on given level"Execution Started" appears, which helps you quickly navigate the table of contents during the next sessions of working with the program.


If you could not understand the meaning of the task on your own, you will definitely come to the aid of instructions for completing the work:


In the "Task with explanations" you are given a text from some artwork, which omits punctuation marks and some letters in words. You are required to "make it the way it was" :). The original task looks like this:


After you start making corrections directly to the text, your creativity will be highlighted in blue (for clarity):


Having finished wrinkling your mind, and having completed the task, click on "Check" at the bottom of the program screen and enjoy the results of your work :).

In the exercises test type at the very bottom of the working field there is a scale with empty rectangles, the number of which corresponds to the number of questions. If you answer correctly, the rectangle turns green, if you are wrong, it turns red. By the color of this scale, you yourself can judge your progress and level of knowledge in this topic.



All your "progress" is reflected in the journal, where all topics of all levels are indicated, and again the level of your knowledge is shown in color. If you are not satisfied with one of the "ratings", you may well correct it to a higher one. If only it were like that in school...

Several people can work with the program: each new name has its own journal and a "fresh" table of contents is issued, without notes. All you need to do is enter your name and get started:


This program is prescribed to all computer users (without exceptions), regardless of the nature of the work and position, at least 2-4 hours a week. All five levels are waiting for you with great impatience :).

Conclusion

As the first training exercise, you can look for grammatical and spelling errors in this text :)

Let's if not speak, then at least write correctly ...

A few thoughts about us and our language...


“Language is the history of the people. Language is the way of civilization and culture. Therefore, the study and preservation of the Russian language is not an idle occupation with nothing to do, but an urgent need.

(A. Kuprin)


"Determine the meaning of words... and you will rid the world of half of its delusions."

(A. S. Pushkin)


“Knowledge of the exact meaning of words and their differences among themselves, even the easiest, is necessary condition any true thinking, for words are expressions of concepts, but is it possible to think without being able to distinguish, in all subtlety, one concept from another?

(V. S. Belinsky)


“It is not for this that our people, together with the geniuses of the Russian word - from Pushkin to Chekhov and Gorky - created for us and our descendants a rich, free and strong language that amazes with its sophisticated, flexible, infinitely diverse forms, it is not for this that this was left to us as a gift greatest treasure of our national culture, so that we, having abandoned it with contempt, reduced our speech to a few dozen stamped phrases.


“Most often, our feeling protests not so much against the words themselves, but against what is behind them. Their inaccuracy and incorrectness, their illiteracy and foreignness would not be so bad if they were not the most obvious expression of internal vulgarity and antics, insincerity and lightness in thoughts.

(A. G. Gornfeld “Torments of the word”)


“A person who wants to speak “in a more cultured way” sometimes does not dare to call a hat a hat, and a jacket a jacket. And instead he utters strict words: a headdress or outerwear. “Headdress”, “green array”, “stick products”, “conflict with a wife” for these people are ceremonial and dandy words, and a hat, a forest, a stick are everyday. This is not enough. Quite often there are people who consider clerical vocabulary to be the root of a genuine literary, authentic scientific style.

A scholar who writes clearly plain language, seems to them a rather poor scientist. They want to hear "heavy rain fell" instead of the phrase "gone heavy rains».

It becomes habitual congratulations in the form of “Dear dad! I congratulate you on your birthday, I wish you new achievements and success in your work and personal life. Your daughter Olya. And what good is such callousness, deep indifference, without a single lively intonation?

(Korney Chukovsky "Alive like life")


« Consume foreign word when there is an equivalent Russian word means to insult and common sense and good taste."

(V. S. Belinsky)


“The time has come when schoolchildren, instead of the works of Pushkin, Gogol, Lermontov, Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Chekhov and other great writers, read books “All Russian Literature in Retelling for Schoolchildren” and the like.”


“The time has come when people began to sell our literary heritage for a penny in the waste paper departments. And where does it fit? It would be good if these people began to change their minds, and if they do not read these books (and are more interested in women's novels and detectives), then at least they would carry the assembled classic literature to nearby libraries.

One of many books about the language we communicate, speak and write, about its richness, originality, development and relationship with other languages:

Osipov "The Single Language of Mankind"

This book contains a number of essays on the origin of words in Russian, English, Arabic and some other languages. Each of them is a rung on the ladder leading to an understanding of what human language and what it was like in the most remote past. The reader is invited to descend this ladder into the depths of millennia, to look at the word as historical document as a precious grain of universal human experience.

So that the journey does not turn out to be too burdensome, the author tried not to dry his speech technical terms, and even, on the contrary, diluted it with half-joking words, entrusting them with the task of conveying the most serious concepts. Thus, in the book there was a place for jokes and anecdotes, if they were suitable for illustrating a particular statement.

In the book, the author tries to convey the idea: do not overestimate the originality of each national language. In essence, each language is a natural continuation of another language. In our languages ​​there is not only "own" and "alien", but also common, inherited from our ancestors. We are all children of Adam and Eve, we are all descendants of Noah. If the author were not a Russian Arabist, but, say, an English Japaneseist, then even then he would have defended the same idea, but only on other examples, on different linguistic material.

Each book is the author's confession to the readers, and the confession involves first-person narration. In the word "I" used by the author, there is no hint of "selfishness", a protrusion of oneself. It is an attempt to become a little closer to the reader.

There are many more examples in this book than the author's reasoning. An example is often better rules. It is clearer and more intelligible.

Another feature of the book is that it can be read anywhere: on the train and on the plane, at home and at work, starting from any place at the beginning, middle or end. There are so many different things in it that at least something funny will be found for your taste.

This is not a textbook, not a treatise. Rather, information for reflection, notches on the tree, which everyone is free to interpret in their own way. Free to agree or disagree with the opinion of the author, which he did not hide.
