History of the Russian language. A) The weather is named marvelous, because she wonderful,amazing. Marvelous – wonderful, associated with a miracle, a deity. Div is the god of the pagan Slavs. The modern meaning of “wonderful” is beautiful. B) It is raining– a modern “erased” metaphor. This text reflects only facts from the speaker's point of view, so rain in context this proposal exactly flies. Year- the concept of time not marked by any exceptional events, that is, of time as such. Godina– the derivative from “year” emphasized the special, emotional nature of the time designated by this word. This time was characterized by the most significant events and phenomena (the year of salvation, the year of marriage). For example, in “The Tale of Igor’s Campaign” it is said: “Already, brethren, a sad time has arisen.” Noun year with meaning, time fell out of use - it was supplanted by borrowing from Old Slavonic language"time". The word refers to neutral vocabulary. Stylistically colored word hour received a sublime stylistic connotation (a time of troubles, adversity, trials). This was facilitated by the suffix -in-(a), emphasizing the expressiveness and emotionality of the meaning of the word. Words with inconsistency came to us into the Russian language from Slavic. The presence of disagreement is a sign of Stroslavisms. They were considered words of solemn high style. The Currant River is an epic, ominous river. Cm oro Dina – cm ra bottom, smelling of stench. |

The language of a work of art. Russian God - maybe, maybe, somehow. Raspberry pillar And raspberry forest- words used in figurative meaning and, at first glance, are allologisms. But in in this case in the works of UNT, these allologisms reveal the evaluativeness hidden in the noun RASPBERRY. Crimson serves as an indicator of the high qualities of an object (for example, in literary language the phrase crimson ringing is often found - a very pleasant, soft timbre ringing of bells, bells, bells). A language pun is created in the following ways: A) ... I’m idle, I’m idle, And you're a business slacker. Consonance of words (1 b.) – slacker – idle; Oxymoronic combination (1b.) - business slacker; Tautology (1 b.) B) Intended Use polysemy of the word (1 b.) The words “by passion” - “by passion” - homonyms (1 b.) Initially, etymologically, the word “passion” comes from suffering. In modern Russian, the word “passion” has several meanings: 1) strong feeling, in this case – love; 2) “passion” - suffering; 3) colloquial “fear”; 4) colloquial – “very”. | ||

Modern Russian language. 1. Ending - ohm- in this case denotes a populated area. Ending - th- denotes a surname. Neither one nor the other. This is not a typo or a mistake by M.Yu. Lermontov, the poet knew Russian grammar well. Just drooping not a gerund, but an adjective that acts as a definition to a noun - subject ate. We have before us a truncated adjective. Poets of the 18th and early 19th centuries very actively used this form of adjectives as one of poetic license. 3.A) Three bookswere lying on the table. (For the numerals “2, 3, 4” the predicate is plural) B) Twenty one student handed over exam. (for compound numbers ending in one, the predicate is put in singular) IN) Passedten years. (the predicate is usually put in the singular if the subject contains words years,months, days, hours) G) Several peoplewalked on the way to. (If the subject (animate noun) contains the word some the predicate is put in the plural) D) How many bookscosts on the shelf. E) Many peopleit's arrived to the concert. (If the subject contains the words little, a little, a lot, how many, so much, then the predicate is usually put in singular form) 4. Paronym– from the Greek Para – near, past andonyma – name. Words similar in sound, but different in meaning and structure. Subscription-subscriber, bone-bone. |

The combination of letters YO is uncharacteristic for the Russian language. This combination is conveyed by the letter E. Correct writing- yogurt, yogurt.
2.
A year is a concept of time not marked by any exceptional events, that is, of time as such.
Godina - a derivative of “year”, the word emphasized the special, emotional character the time it denotes. This time was characterized by the most significant events and phenomena (the year of salvation, the year of marriage). For example, in “The Tale of Igor’s Campaign” it is said: “Already, brethren, a sad time has arisen.”
The noun year with the meaning time fell out of use - it was supplanted by borrowing “time” from the Old Church Slavonic language. The word refers to neutral vocabulary. The stylistically colored word godina received a sublime stylistic coloring(a time of troubles, adversity, trials...). This was facilitated by the suffix –in-, emphasizing the expressiveness and emotionality of the word’s meaning.

Historical root with alternating vowels E\O and Shch\Ch\K (mother-in-law - old school). Initial value verb TESCHI - “to run, move quickly.”
In the modern Russian language, only in the dialect nautek the memory of the original meaning of the word (to move quickly) has been preserved.
IV. Modern Russian language
1.
1. Pronoun, according to the outstanding philologist V.V. Vinogradov, a special part of speech in modern Russian. Firstly, a pronoun is a part of speech that does not have its own meaning, but replaces words of other parts of speech. For example, in the phrase Yesterday we met a neighbor, he was very old, the pronoun HE replaces the noun neighbor. With the help of pronouns, the speaker either points to a person, object, sign, quantity, or generalizes them, but does not name them. For example, with the pronoun such a speaker indicates a sign, with the pronoun so much - with the quantity, and with the help interrogative pronoun Who? asks about a face or persons. No other independent part speech has no such feature. Secondly, the peculiarity of pronouns is that they allow you to avoid repetition of words in the text, since they are a means of communication between parts of sentences and sentences as a whole: Yesterday we met a neighbor, he was very old. The pronoun OH in this sentence is a means of communication.
2. One more interesting feature pronouns – the personal pronouns you and you form the basis speech etiquette: YOU are used to address each other in the family, between relatives, friends; on YOU - people little known and unfamiliar. The pronoun YOU is also accepted in official and official settings.
A.S. Pushkin uses exactly this semantic feature personal pronouns. Lyrical hero A.S. Pushkin talks about the desire to move from official relations to your loved ones, hence your cordial nature.
2.
Indo-European family: Spanish, German, Lithuanian, Russian, Greek, Iranian.
Uralic (Finno-Ugric) family: Hungarian, Finnish, Estonian.
Turkic family: Tatar, Azerbaijani, Turkish.
Caucasian family: Georgian.
3.
The following pronunciation correspondences are observed between Polish and Russian words: b-b, k-k, x –ch [x], ch – cz [ch], p (hard) - r, p (soft) - rz [z], l (hard) - l, l (soft) - li. In addition, Polish [a] can correspond to Russian. This correspondence occurs before two consonants. Now let’s try to write down these words in transcription and translate them into Russian:
rzepa – [zhepa] – turnip. Everything is fine.
gorzeli - [gozhel] - burned. Everything is fine again.
burza – [buzha] – storm. No problem.
grzech - [gzhekh] - sin. Everything is fine.
This means that the correct answer is D): marzla – [majla].
According to the rules established above, the Polish [majla] must correspond to the Russian merla. But there is no such word in Russian.
4.
Answer: D). In the word fox and lecture hall null ending.
A) Dining room - flock (in the word dining room the ending is aya, in the word flock - ya).
B) Tailor is a hero (in the word hero there is a zero ending, in the word tailor – oh.)
C) Rybachy – worker (In the word fisherman there is a zero ending, in the word worker there is a zero ending).
5.

1. A delightful overnight stay on the road. One-part sentence, nominative, distributed only by definitions, agreed and inconsistent.
2. Overnight on the way due to bad weather. A two-part sentence, incomplete, there is no predicate, but there is a circumstance of the reason related to the predicate, common).
6.
In the Russian language there are paired and unpaired hard consonants. For example: [B] - [B], [T] - [T], etc. Always solid unpaired ones are [zh], [w], [ts]. Once upon a time, the sounds [zh], [sh], [t] were soft and words with them were written like this: belly, awl. In the 13th century, the hardening of hissing [zh], [sh], and in the 14th-15th centuries - [ts] occurred. Words with these sounds began to be pronounced firmly, but the spelling remained the same. The letter I after Zh, Sh, Ts recalls the former softness of hissing sounds and the sound [ts]. The final hardening of the sound [ts] in the 16th - 17th centuries. reflected in the letter: fathers, streets, Lisitsyn, chubby.
We write: “The gypsy on tiptoe tutted to the chicken: “Tsits!”
After the hardening of Ts in the Russian language, after this letter it became possible writing the letters O are stressed, E is unaccented: village-towel.
7.
Soar - live, abide. OBVitati – loss of root B – habitation. Soar - dwell - vital (room for living) - related words.
8.

Exercise 1
How should the punctuation of the passage be changed to make it clear that the author of the letter is not so much referring to the governor's cattle as to the governor himself, whom the author is not averse to calling out cattle?
I never ordered the governor’s cattle from his fields to be driven into my nooks, and I don’t want to have his cattle anywhere near me and my four-legged animals; but I’m afraid that my steward from the village of Poganets, out of stupidity, has driven the governor’s cattle.
Task 2
Kofiy, kofiy, kohey, kokhvay. These are the names of the drink you know.
Read the sentences given in the task and determine why this word “dropped out” from the list of common, inanimate, neuter nouns:
- “Whoever drinks black coffee forges a forge against God.”
- “They sat Ani at the oak table, gave him tea and kohvai.”
- “There will be tea and coffee...”
- “Is your coffee ready?” ("The Cherry Orchard")
Determine the gender of this word in modern Russian. Give examples.
Task 3
In our language there are many “paired words”: watchman-guard, Milky - milk, tree - tree. In the roots of these words, full-vowel and half-vowel combinations of letters alternate. Write what you know about this phonetic phenomenon in Russian.
This phonetic phenomenon underlies the name of the Smorodina River, familiar to you from fairy tales and epics. Do you think such a river really existed? What could its name mean? Give reasons for your answer
Task 4
In modern Russian the word “to soar” is known, that is, “to move, to rush in the heights.”
To have your head in the clouds (also translated: to indulge in fruitless dreams, to forget about reality).
To soar in the world of dreams (translated).
But, as you can see, all meanings of this word are figurative. What is the direct meaning of the word “to soar”
Task 5
Correct grammatical errors in the examples given.
A) The mother loved and was proud of her son.
B) A memorial monument is installed on the square.
D) An unpleasant incident happened to him.
