Theory for task No. 6 of the Unified State Exam in Russian

Lexical norms (or norms of word usage)- these are norms that determine the correctness of choosing a word from a number of units that are close to it in meaning or form, as well as its use in the meanings that it has in the literary language.

Type of lexical errorExplanationExample
Violation of lexical compatibility of wordsWords in speech and text must be combined in meaning and meaning. If this rule is violated, lexical inconsistency occurs.Lean your back, suffer victory
Inaccurate use of phraseological unitsPhraseologism is a lexically indivisible, stable phrase (hang your nose, sit in a galosh).“Not worth an egg” instead of “Not worth a damn”; "lion's share" instead of "lion's share"; “plays a big role” instead of “plays a role” or “is of great importance”
Failure to distinguish shades of meaning of paronymsParonyms are words that sound similar, but do not have the same meaning (long and lasting, mountainous and mountainous, watery and watery, spectacular and effective).The long day has left me tired.
Use of unnecessary words, including pleonasmsPleonasms are phrases in which one of the two words is superfluous because its meaning coincides with the meaning of the adjacent word.main point, vacancy, my autobiography, strict taboo
The use of words with the same root in a close context (tautology)repetition of the same root or identical wordsorganize an organization, ask a question, offer a proposal
Errors in using synonymsSynonyms are words of the same part of speech that are close in meaning. Synonyms cannot always replace each other in speech, especially stylistically different words (friend - comrade - buddy, youth - youth, smart - smart, work hard, etc.)She went to the doctor because her eyes (instead of her eyes) hurt. The lawyer sought to have his client cleared (instead of acquitted).
Incorrect use of antonyms and homonymsAntonyms are words that are opposite in their lexical meaning to one part of speech (cold - hot, friend - enemy).Due to the weakness of his position, it was difficult for him to defend himself (inappropriate use of the antonyms “strength” and “weakness”).
Homonyms are words that are the same in form (in pronunciation, in writing), but different in meaning (mUka, flour).
At the Russian Language Olympiad, I lost my glasses due to inattention (glasses are points or glasses are an optical device that protects the eyes).
Inappropriate use of outdated vocabulary, neologisms, professionalisms, jargon, dialectisms, borrowed words, ambiguous words.Historicisms are words denoting objects that have disappeared from modern life, phenomena that have become irrelevant concepts (chain mail, cocked hat, corvee, etc.).Timely and high-quality weeding of beetroot contributes to a good harvest. (beets)
Archaisms are words that are outdated for linguistic reasons and have fallen out of use because they have been replaced by synonyms (lanits - cheeks, eyes - eyes, actor - actor). Neologisms are new words that have not yet taken a place in the active vocabulary. Neologisms appear in the language together with the designated realities (harvester, astronaut, satellite).He was presented as a sort of polyglot: he is a physicist, a mathematician, and a poet.
Dialectism is a lexical unit, the use of which is limited to a certain territory.He was in low health (meaning poor health).
Borrowed words are words that came into a language from other languages.Our athlete lagged behind her opponent in development. (chess term – game development)
Polysemous words are words that have multiple meanings.

“Edit the sentence: correct the lexical error by eliminating the extra word. Write this word down.

2) Recognize the error, indicate its type (do not mix it with means of expression)

3) If it's a mistake, correct it.

Types of errors

ERRORSEXAMPLES
1 Using a word in a meaning that is unusual for it We were shocked by the excellent acting. The idea develops throughout the entire text.
2 Failure to distinguish shades of meaning introduced into a word by prefix and suffix
(checked in task 5)
My attitude towards this problem has not changed.
Effective measures were taken.

To successfully complete the task you must:

  • understand the lexical meaning of a word and use it in accordance with this meaning;
  • take into account the peculiarities of word combinations;
  • correctly use synonyms, antonyms and homonyms;
  • avoid speech redundancy;
  • prevent speech insufficiency;
  • take into account the scope of vocabulary use and stylistic coloring.

Theory, terms.

Lexical norms (or norms of word usage)- these are norms that determine the correctness of choosing a word from a number of units that are close to it in meaning or form, as well as its use in the meanings that it has in the literary language.

1) Violation of lexical compatibility of words.

Lexical compatibility of words is the ability of words to connect with each other. If the meaning of words is not taken into account, lexical inconsistency may occur.

For example, words may not be combined due to their lexical incompatibility

(Lean your back, suffer a victory, an armed clash took place, etc.)

*** This also includes inaccurate use phraseological units.

Phraseologism– a lexically indivisible, stable phrase (manna from heaven, hack on the nose).

Typical mistakes in the use of phraseological units are:

  • abbreviation of the expression “Not worth a damn” instead of “Not worth a damn”)
  • word replacement (“lion’s share” instead of “lion’s share”)
  • combination of two phrases (“plays a great importance” instead of “plays a role” or “is of great importance”)

2) Failure to distinguish shades of meaning introduced into a word by prefix and suffix

Paronyms are words that sound similar, but do not have the same meaning (long and lasting, mountainous and mountainous, watery and watery, spectacular and effective)

The correct use of paronyms is discussed in the Russian language; by following the link you can study the theory for this task, as well as look at the dictionary of paronyms for the Unified State Exam.

3) Use of unnecessary words, including pleonasms- phrases in which one of the two words is superfluous because its meaning coincides with the meaning of another adjacent word.(the main point, free vacancy, my autobiography, strict taboo and others).

4)Use of cognates in a close context (Tautology)– repetition of the same root or identical words (organize an organization, ask a question, offer a proposal).

***In addition to the redundancy of words, lexical errors also include insufficient words, but this is not checked in task 20.

Russian writers (portraits) hung in the office.

Do not enter the reading room wearing clothes! (in outerwear).

3) Failure to distinguish synonymous words.

Synonyms- words of the same part of speech, close or identical in meaning (friend - comrade - buddy, youth - youth, smart - smart, work hard, etc.)

Synonyms cannot always replace each other in speech, especially stylistically different words.

She went to the doctor because she had more eyes (instead of her eyes).

The lawyer sought to have his client cleared (instead of acquitted)

*** It is also possible to use antonyms and homonyms incorrectly.

Antonyms- words that are opposite in their lexical meaning to one part of speech (cold - hot, friend - enemy).

Due to the weakness of his position, it was difficult for him to defend himself (inappropriate use of the antonyms “strength” and “weakness”).

Homonyms- words that are the same in form (in pronunciation, in writing), but different in meaning (onion - plant / weapon, marriage - marriage / low-quality products).

At the Russian Language Olympiad, I lost my glasses due to inattention (glasses are points or glasses are an optical device that protects the eyes).

4) Unjustified and inappropriate use of outdated vocabulary, neologisms, professionalisms, jargon, dialectisms, borrowed words, ambiguous words.

Obsolete words, depending on the reasons for obsolescence, are divided into two groups:

Historicisms- these are words denoting objects that have disappeared from modern life, phenomena that have become irrelevant concepts (chain mail, cocked hat, corvee, etc.)

Archaisms- words that are outdated for linguistic reasons have fallen out of use because they have been replaced by synonyms (lanits - cheeks, eyes - eyes, actor - actor).

Historicisms and archaisms used in texts that deal with the past (fiction, historical research).

Neologisms- new words that have not yet taken a place in the active vocabulary. Neologisms appear in the language together with the designated realities (harvester, astronaut, satellite).

Dialectism- a lexical unit, the use of which is limited to a certain territory.

Timely and high-quality weeding of beetroot contributes to a good harvest. (beets)

Borrowed words- words that came into the language from other languages.

He was presented as a sort of polyglot: he is a physicist, a mathematician, and a poet. (Polyglot – a person who speaks many languages)

A lexical error is associated with a misunderstanding of the meaning of the borrowed word “polyglot”.

Ambiguous words– words that have several meanings.

As a rule, context helps to distinguish in what meaning a word is used. However, this is not always observed, which can also lead to speech errors.

He was in low health (meaning poor health).

Our athlete lagged behind her opponent in development. (chess term – game development)

So, in 2018, changes appeared in the Unified State Examination test, namely task 20 appeared.

Obsolete words, depending on the reasons for obsolescence, are divided into two groups:

Historicisms- these are words denoting objects that have disappeared from modern life, phenomena that have become irrelevant concepts (chain mail, cocked hat, corvee, etc.)

Archaisms- words that are outdated for linguistic reasons have fallen out of use because they have been replaced by synonyms (lanits - cheeks, eyes - eyes, actor - actor).

Historicisms and archaisms used in texts that deal with the past (fiction, historical research).

Neologisms- new words that have not yet taken a place in the active vocabulary. Neologisms appear in the language together with the designated realities (harvester, astronaut, satellite).

Dialectism- a lexical unit, the use of which is limited to a certain territory.

Timely and high-quality weeding of beetroot contributes to a good harvest. (beets)

Borrowed words- words that came into the language from other languages.

He was presented as a sort of polyglot: he is a physicist, a mathematician, and a poet. (Polyglot - a person who speaks many languages)

A lexical error is associated with a misunderstanding of the meaning of the borrowed word “polyglot”.

Ambiguous words- words that have several meanings.

As a rule, context helps to distinguish in what meaning a word is used. However, this is not always observed, which can also lead to speech errors.

He was in low health (meaning poor health).

Our athlete lagged behind her opponent in development. (chess term - game development)
