Weekly “Arguments and facts” n ° 44. Why is salo better than lard? Why do our neighbors want to switch to Latin 03/11/2021
11 & nbsp; years in & nbsp; schoolchildren learn to write correctly, pass the compulsory exam in & nbsp; Russian. But & nbsp; is it necessary & nbsp; to spend so much time on & nbsp; if there are computer programs that will write and & nbsp; will correct for & nbsp; you ?
Shall we understand & nbsp; ; each other?
& nbsp; The children of & nbsp; at school should be informed of & nbsp; standard, & nbsp; & mdash; considers the head of the department of the Center for the Development of Educational Strategy of Moscow State University. Lomonosov Konstantin Ziskin … & mdash; & nbsp; But & nbsp; is not & nbsp; because ignoring the rules somehow interferes with communication. In & nbsp; Russia, universal literacy appeared only in & nbsp; early twentieth & nbsp; century. And & nbsp; before & nbsp; somehow everyone was alive and & nbsp; understood. Yes, in & nbsp; England was such that for a few centuries the English nobility did not understand & nbsp; commoners & mdash; simply because she spoke French. The aristocrats & nbsp; in & nbsp; Russia understood ordinary people well. In fact, and & nbsp; the rules themselves appeared at the & nbsp; end of the 19th & nbsp; century.
Knowing the rules is more likely related to & nbsp; belong to a group. We & nbsp; let's take the language of a group of people and & nbsp; let's call it correct. And we teach everyone this conditional correct language. Why? Judging by the & nbsp; content and & nbsp; what is verified, it is necessary for people to know and & nbsp; learn a set of rules. It has no direct relation to the & nbsp; communication and & nbsp; understanding. If suddenly you don't understand something & nbsp; & mdash; ask again. On the contrary, following the rules negatively affects a child's creative development. Chukovsky has the famous book De & nbsp; Two to & Nbsp; Five, devoted to children's speech, when he carefully observes how children masterfully change words, form new ones, without & nbsp; know no rules. What a flight of fantasy! Who is then carefully embedded in the bed of Procrustes with strict rules.
Judging by & nbsp; how many texts with & nbsp; errors we & nbsp; let's see every day the standard is taught doesn't matter. Have people become less literate? Barely & nbsp; if. It's just that the illiterate wrote less. Previously, to write, you had to have at least a pen and paper, then you had to buy a postcard. Now everything is simpler, and & nbsp; everyone writes. Mankind has never known so many written communication options! People blog in the & nbsp; social networks, correspond in the & nbsp; cats. This is why & nbsp; so many texts with & nbsp; errors.
But & nbsp; it & # 39; s not & nbsp; means that it is necessary to simplify the rules of the Russian language. On the contrary, it is worth changing the accents of the school curriculum, the requirements for students. It would be useful & nbsp; If you now look at the & nbsp; Russian language course, then & nbsp; is rather the Prussian educational system, when this is true, and & nbsp; that's it. In & nbsp;, most children are content to apply the rules. Cramming impairs knowledge of languages and anything. You & nbsp; inconsiderately start to reproduce these rules, without & nbsp; feel them & nbsp; and & nbsp; do not & nbsp; understand. Must be interesting to teach. To make the child want to belong to the & nbsp; group of people who use these rules.
Where do so many ignorant people come from?
Philologists do not agree with this position. “ The task of the literary language & nbsp; & mdash; maintain understanding between generations and & nbsp; all those who communicate in & nbsp; Russian, & nbsp; & mdash; considers associate professor of the Russian language department and & nbsp; teaching methods of RUDN Elena Baryshnikova University … & mdash; & nbsp; This is not & nbsp; the language of a separate group & nbsp; & mdash; it is the language of the people. And & nbsp; means, and & nbsp; rules are important! They did not arise & nbsp; at the request of academics, but & nbsp; following the traditions of the people, the history of the people. Unfortunately, the educational and scientific text of textbooks has become the standard of discourse, and & nbsp; not & nbsp; The fiction. Yes & nbsp; and & nbsp; textbooks are written in such clerical language that it is impossible to teach the written word using & nbsp; Literacy isn't all about spelling words correctly and putting commas. It is also the ability to use words in a certain situation, to know many synonyms in order to be creative. When instead of & bdquo; I & nbsp; cleaned in the & nbsp; kitchen & ldquo; they say & bdquo; i & nbsp; cleaned & ldquo; & nbsp; & mdash; it is also illiteracy. N. & nbsp; S. & nbsp; Khrushchev & nbsp; & mdash; they say, it doesn't matter, it says & bdquo; cow & ldquo; or & bdquo; karova & ldquo ;. Fortunately, it didn't go further than his suggestions. Let's start with the & nbsp; word & bdquo; cow & ldquo ;, and & nbsp; then not & nbsp; we will be able to communicate in & nbsp; Russian. Many countries are now fighting for the purity of their language. Computer proofreading programs are not & nbsp; able to distinguish between & bdquo; n & ldquo; and & nbsp; & bdquo; nn & ldquo ;, don't know & nbsp; where to put commas for certain constructions, and & nbsp; depends on & nbsp; the meaning of the statement. Popular application in & nbsp; smartphones & bdquo; T9 & ldquo; only picks up lexical units that it knows. Alas, this is not salvation. Literacy & nbsp; & mdash; it is the ability to write text that will be understood exactly as you intended, without explanations.
In & nbsp; anyway, learn & nbsp; if you have to write correctly & mdash; it should be a conscious choice for each person. Then it's a lot easier to teach literacy than boring and cramming. requirements of which it is necessary. Unfortunately, in schools, the latter thrives more often. If teachers can't & nbsp; convince the children, why & nbsp; why should they & nbsp; know how to read and write?
