"If you don't know how to use an ax, you can't cut down a tree, but the language is also an instrument, a musical instrument, and you need to learn to master it easily and beautifully."

A.M. bitter

Language is a means of communication between people, a means of their education and perception of the world around them. Without a good knowledge of the Russian language, which is also our native language, without the ability to write and speak correctly, you cannot consider yourself an educated person, you cannot achieve success in life. But does everyone strive to be fluent in their native language?

Following fashion trends among young people, many of us begin to supplant our native language, littering it with jargon, Anglicisms, and newfangled Internet slang. From a certain age, young people and girls plunge into the element of youth slang, and if they do not realize the harm from such bathing, then soon they generally forget how to speak Russian. They are constantly "dragging along", "kidding", "running over", "breaking off" and the like. Thus, they forget how to speak Russian literary language and, accordingly, lose the ability to correctly express their thoughts, the ability to fully communicate and understand each other.

But it's one thing when we deliberately deprive ourselves of the opportunity to skillfully master the language. And it is completely different when we kill our native language. After all, our language is living, developing. And it is we who are its keepers and creators at the present stage. It becomes insulting because we do not even realize that we are acting so cruelly with the language. From a young age we destroy in ourselves not only love for the native word, but also the ability to feel the language, to see its beauty and wealth. And we destroy ourselves, because in speech, as in a mirror, the whole person is reflected, his essence, the depth of his soul.

If the language of our contemporaries ceases to develop, then in two or three hundred years our language will become scarce, it will lose its beauty. And our descendants will not be able to understand the works of the classics of Russian literature. And we ourselves will gradually lose the ability to understand each other - this can be observed already now: how can an elderly cultured person understand youth slang?

Over the centuries, the Russian language has changed, developed and improved. But as they say, there is no limit to perfection: many generations will complement and contribute to the development of the language. There will be, if we come to our senses now, if we begin to take good care of our native language, if we take care and love it. Therefore, the main task for us is to preserve the Russian language, not to let it die. After all, if the language disappears, then the nation will soon cease to exist.

Which he carries - this is a very important side of the existence of society. He keeps in himself the spiritual and the people. Through language, people express their thoughts, express emotions. The words of prominent people are quoted and transformed from personal property into human property, creating the spiritual wealth of society.

Language can be expressed in direct or indirect form. Direct - directly in contact with a person, people in real time, and indirect - this is communication with a time gap, the so-called space-time communication, when the values ​​of society are passed from generation to generation. Thus, the spiritual heritage of mankind is formed - the saturation of the inner world of people with ideals.

The role of language in the life of society is truly great. It performs the function of transmitting social heredity. With the help of language, people can represent the world, describe various processes, receive, store and reproduce information, their thoughts.

Speech is a person's calling card, as well as the most reliable recommendation in his professional activity. In the labor sphere, the language began to help in management (give orders, give an assessment), and also became an effective motivator.

The importance of language in the life of society is enormous: with the help of it, the development of science, art, technology, etc. The peoples speak different languages, but one goal is pursued - the achievement of mutual understanding.

But so that society does not degrade, everyone must follow the rules of good manners - the so-called culture of speech. It helps people to communicate competently and correctly. And here is reflected the significant role of language in the life of society.

There are 3 normative, communicative and ethical. Normative includes various rules and norms of human speech: the way people should speak. Communicative is the correct interaction with other people - participants in communication. And ethical is the observance of certain rules: "Where, with whom and how you can talk."

Over time, the role of language in the life of society only increases. More and more must be conveyed, preserved. Also, the language has become a kind of science that needs to be comprehended. There are certain rules, systems of concepts, signs and symbols, theories and terms. This all complicates the language. Therefore, the "seeds" of the degradation of society appear. More and more people want to "freeze" and not pay due attention to the language.

Therefore, in recent years, there has been an increased vulgarization of speech practice. Society goes beyond the literary language, more and more people use jargon, thieves, and profanity.

This is an urgent problem today, because without the one posed, it is impossible to solve general social, cultural and economic issues.

There is a criminalization of humanity, which is expressed in speech. The role of language in the life of society is usually underestimated - it is not considered the highest good we have. But you need to be aware of the following: as a person speaks, so he acts and thinks.

Language and man

Language is a mysterious phenomenon, the study of which began long before the beginning of our era. Language systems are different in their form and structure, in the degree of complexity; they can be viewed in many aspects and analyzed from the standpoint of different approaches and views. Of course, language is the main means of communication and transfer of information between people - any fact, be it a historical event, new knowledge about the world around us or something that happens in a cultural environment, is fixed and takes on a new form in the form of linguistic expression and can be further transmitted to the surrounding individuals and future generations. Nevertheless, language systems should be considered not only from the position of instrumentalism, because, as the main way of expressing thought and the spiritual sphere of a person, language can and should be analyzed from a philosophical point of view. According to Yu.S. Stepanov, language can be defined as "the house of being of the spirit." Based on this definition, language should be associated with a deep philosophical comprehension of reality, which presupposes a thorough study of the interaction of a person, the world around him and the way of expressing it - language as such.

This paradigm found its strong expression in such a discipline as linguophilosophy, although many others began to turn to it as the basis of their research. Linguocultorology, ethnopsycholinguistics and ethnolinguistics are repelled from this paradigm and are based on the grounds that human being as such repels from cultural, spiritual and cultural-social values. This means that a person cannot exist in isolation from society as a whole, separate, "his", society (nation, cultural association, diaspora) and inevitably comes into contact with them, allowing him to transform his own thinking and just as inevitably influencing environment. This leads us to the thesis that the consciousness and thinking of the individual socially conditioned. The main instrument of this interaction between the individual and society is language.

Language, as we suggested earlier, is part of the inner being of a person and therefore is also social. Determining the relationship between the individual and society, language becomes the fundamental basis of communication as such and begins to create a unique individual or collective “linguistic worldview”.

Manifesting himself in a certain way (performing a certain social role), a person begins to classify himself as a certain national (or subnational) culture, which includes adherence to certain national traditions, language, history, religious beliefs and self-awareness, as well as, importantly, the ways and styles of linguistic interaction with other cultures, nations or individuals within their group. Language in this case is the basis for a person's expression of his attitude to the world, his realization of thought processes, the expression of his intentions and the willingness to share these intentions with the people around him.

Thus, we turn to the problem and concept of the anthropocentrism of language. In the most concise and concentrated form, it can be expressed as “a person is the central figure of the language, both as a speaker and as the main person of the world he is talking about” [Zolotova, 1982]. For many other branches of science, anthropocentrism is an idealistic view that has little to do with a scientific approach, but in linguistics and linguoculturology it is fully reflected. Anthropocentrism in this context makes it possible to do what until the 1920s (at the same time, the term “fouling” of the concept “person”: individual, individual, personality, persona, linguistic personality ...) was not fully represented in linguistics : to consider and comprehend the systemic connections of linguistic phenomena not in the forced separation of form and content, but in their natural synthesis, since they serve the common needs of communication. This scientific paradigm poses new tasks in the study of language, requires new methods of its description, new approaches in the analysis of its units and categories. From the standpoint of the anthropocentric paradigm, a person learns the world through awareness of himself, his theoretical and objective activity in it. The essence of the anthropocentric research model lies in the fact that a person becomes a starting point in the study of certain phenomena, he is involved in this analysis, determining his prospects, ultimate goals and results.

In addition, one should take into account such a problem closely related to the anthropocentric paradigm as the problem of "linguistic personality", which implies a linguistic, verbal and verbal form of personality realization, implying an author or a character. This concept can be revealed as follows: a linguistic personality is a person in his ability to perform speech acts. This definition implies a close connection between the carrier (individual) and the speech means (language) used by him.

The center and core of linguistic consciousness is the concept of "man", therefore, it is possible to obtain the most complete information in the course of research only if one starts from this concept. This thesis is confirmed by the observation of various national cultures, because in each of them the concept of “man” occupies a central place both in the system of values ​​and in the language system, the system of views and self-consciousness. This is what led to the fact that the anthropocentric and anthropological approaches became leading in the profiles of the humanitarian orientation, and especially in ethnolinguistics and cultural linguistics, which, in turn, was reflected in the fact that linguistics gradually began to abandon the narrow view of language only as a kind of tool. self-sufficient essence, a system of sign units - on the contrary, this science began to put forward an anthropological program for studying various aspects of its subject, making it its main task to study language and a person in an inextricable connection. All this is a natural transition to, of course, already occupying a prominent place and continuing to become more and more noticeable in many areas of science, the anthropological paradigm.

Human consciousness seeks to cognize the world, breaking its aspects into subclasses, called "pictures of the world", allowing you to illuminate different aspects of life from different positions. There is, for example, a religious, scientific, artistic picture of the world. There is also a linguistic picture of the world, which is an interpretation tool for all other pictures of the world, recreates their images in a symbolic and verbal form. The basis for the study of the linguistic picture of the world is the stereotype of the linguistic and broader context - the so-called concepts. This term was introduced into linguistic science by the spiritualist philosopher S.A. Askold-Alekseev in 1928 and revealed it as follows: "a concept is a mental formation that replaces us in the process of thought an indefinite set of objects of the same kind." The concept, in the everyday sense, is the very stereotypes and united classes of concepts that, by replacing complex meanings, facilitate communication. The concept by its nature is close to the structure of human consciousness, his mental world. Concepts arise in the mind of a person not only as a method of replacing complex concepts in everyday communication, but as a way of combining concepts obtained in the process of comprehending personal experience or the experience of one's ethnic / cultural group, comprehending historical processes. The existence of concepts (and other forms of categorization of knowledge) and the concentration of mental information embedded in them once again shows the importance of studying language and man as a single system. Cognition of the world, the construction of an image and pictures of this world are necessary for a full orientation in it, for a person to achieve his own desired goals.

Based on the foregoing, it is clear that the change in linguistic guidelines has led to the formation of a new scientific paradigm. In the anthropocentric scientific paradigm, the indissoluble unity of language and man is considered, where the main function of language is to reflect the body of knowledge about the world through lexical-semantic units and categorize knowledge.

announcement:

It is impossible to imagine a single nation that does not have its own language. Without a language there is no people, and without a people there is no language in which this people would speak. Language is a backbone element of national culture, but some languages ​​are reaching a more global level, becoming the languages ​​of international communication. One of them is our native Russian language ...

writing:

The Russian language is surprisingly rich and beautiful; it is the main forming core of Russian culture. Russian culture cannot exist without language, therefore every cultured person is obliged to preserve his native language.

There are many languages ​​in the world, each of which is unique in its own way, unusual, interesting to study. Each nation has its own original characteristics, its own mentality, its own cultural experience - all this is reflected in the language, and it is with the help of the language that the people can preserve and multiply their national heritage.

Russian is the language of high culture; outstanding works of world literature, world theater and cinema have been created in Russian. Russian is the mother tongue for such generally recognized geniuses as Leo Tolstoy, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Alexander Pushkin and for many other writers, poets, playwrights, critics, public and cultural figures. The modern Russian language did not arise from scratch, it is the result of long-term transformations of the East Slavic languages. Also, the modern literary Russian language is also a consequence of the interaction between different dialects, between the peculiarities of the language of different social groups and strata of the population. This interaction took place over several centuries and led to the formation of the modern living Russian language.

Language is a system-forming part of culture, with its help not only communication between people is carried out, the peculiarities of the mentality of the people are imprinted in each language, the native language is the main factor in determining national identity. With the death of the language, culture also perishes, therefore everyone who belongs to Russian culture and considers himself a cultured person must take care of the language he speaks. The Russian language, of course, is not threatened with extinction now, it is spoken by several hundred million people. Russian is still a relatively young language that has yet to develop and change in the future. The protection of the language is inextricably linked with its development; one should not only protect the traditions and heritage of Russian culture, but also enrich the culture with new opportunities. The greatest opportunities for a language open up when a society develops its language and develops with it.

Russian is the language of international communication. For how many centuries it has been the Russian language that has served as the most important basis for mutual understanding between the peoples of multinational Russia and other neighboring states. Perfect command of the Russian language not only enriches a person spiritually, but also makes him part of the great assets of Russian culture.

Even more essays on the topic: "Russian language":

Today I am one of 170 million people who consider Russian as their native language. I am proud of this, because Russian is the great world language. Russian belongs to the languages ​​of interethnic communication, it is one of the ten most widespread languages ​​on the planet. This is the state language of the largest state in the world - Russia, as well as the second state language in Belarus. Russian is the working language of the United Nations.

In the modern world, another 110 million people speak Russian, for whom it is not their native language. There are dozens of countries in the world where Russian is taught in schools and universities. This is especially common in the countries of the former USSR, because Russian was the main language in the Union. For example, half of the population of Ukraine speaks Russian, and in a number of regions it is recognized as regional.

Why is Russian so widespread? First, the borders of the Russian Empire, and then the USSR, were very wide. The Russians have exerted and continue to exert a great political, economic and cultural influence on other peoples.

Now the spread of the Russian language in the countries of the former USSR is not to everyone's liking. Some politicians seek to oust him and claim that he oppresses national languages. But people still communicate with each other in Russian, read Russian-language newspapers and books. The importance of the Russian language cannot be eliminated by artificial methods.

The second reason why Russian is widespread in the world is that many emigrants from Russia live in European countries, in the USA, in Canada. Russians also love to travel the world and communicate with people. I heard that in some American or Israeli cities all sellers know Russian: their buyers are Russian-speaking. Arabs and Turks are learning Russian: Russians come to them to rest.

The third reason for the importance of the Russian language in the world is literature. Russian literature is one of the greatest in world culture. The names of Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Chekhov and other great writers are known in distant corners of the planet. Germans, French, Spaniards study Russian at universities in order to read the works of these authors in the original.

Now in the world among the languages ​​of interethnic communication, English is the leader. English words penetrate even into the Russian language, often clogging it up. But I think it's all relative.

Firstly, now a whole army of translators is working, translating from Russian into English: Russian culture influences the English-speaking one too. Secondly, once upon a time there was already a fashion: everyone spoke French. Then the fashion changed, and people rushed to something new. And the great and rich Russian language, Russian culture have lived for centuries.

The Russian language is the national, interstate language of a great people and our heritage. I am proud that I am a citizen of the Russian Federation, that I was born on our Russian land. Since my birth, the Russian language has filled my life and is of great importance not only in my life, but also in the life of each of us. Therefore, we are obliged to protect our native language.

From birth we hear Russian speech around us. She accompanies us all our lives. Wherever we go in Russia, everywhere we are accompanied by our faithful assistant - the Russian language. At school, at home, in the theater, in the cinema - everywhere we hear Russian speech. But few people think about how important the native language plays in our life. Without him, we would not have been able to talk with friends, read an interesting book, write a letter to relatives.

Thus, the Russian language is the language of global communication, is of great importance in our life and on the world stage. Language acts as a necessary communication tool. During school breaks, you can often hear statements like this: “How tired of this Russian lesson! We teach him from the first grade! And why teach him? Everyone already knows him! " But it is impossible to know Russian thoroughly, although it is our native language. After all, its possibilities are endless! You can learn the Russian language all your life, always learning something new, but you never know all of its secrets.

I would compare the meaning of the Russian language in my life with the meaning of the Motherland for me. Just as I cannot imagine my life without my Motherland, so I cannot imagine it without the Russian language. The Russian language is the basis of our entire spiritual culture, our priceless gift. I owe him a lot. He gave me the opportunity to join the rich, centuries-old culture of the peoples inhabiting Russia, to learn everything about the life around us. I am sure that the Russian language will help me find a worthy place in my adult life.

I am grateful to fate that I live in Russia, study at a Russian school and study Russian and Russian literature, and I speak Russian.

Therefore, I affirm: "The value of the Russian language in my life is great!"

The Russian language is the greatest language in the world and it has the status of an international language. Why? Firstly, a large number of people, knowing him, talk, and he is also widely known throughout the world. Secondly, at the United Nations, the working language is Russian. Thirdly, our language is informative and expressive, i.e. there are synonyms for each word, and there is a name for each object.

The Russian language was praised by many writers and poets. They were not only Russian, but also foreign poets and writers. For example, I would like to cite the statement of Prosper Mérimée: “The Russian language, as far as I can judge about it, is the richest of all European dialects and seems to have been deliberately created to express the subtlest nuances. Endowed with wonderful conciseness, combined with clarity, he is content with one word to convey thought, when another language would require whole phrases for this. Yes, our Russian language is indeed rich, I am sure of that. I am proud that my native language is Russian, and I will not be ashamed of it!

The very famous writer Anna Akhmatova wrote poems about our mighty language during the Great Patriotic War in 1941-1945:

It's not scary to lie under the bullets dead,
It is not bitter to be left homeless,
And we will save you, Russian speech,
Great Russian word.
We will carry you free and clean
We will give it to our grandchildren, and we will save from captivity
Forever!

Such a "strong" poem that it touches the soul. Each soldier, leaving for battle, recited this poem, it served as a hymn for them. The poem gave them strength, masculinity, stimulus and adrenaline.

But, to our great regret, our powerful and rich in expressions and words Russian language is in fifth place in the list of international languages. It’s a pity, a pity. With the help of the statement of the Russian writer Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev, I would like to urge people to take care of our beautiful Russian language and not forget about it: “Take care of our language, our beautiful Russian language is a treasure, this is a heritage passed down to us by our predecessors. Handle this powerful weapon with respect; in skilful hands it is able to work miracles. "

I love Russian and am proud of it! After all, the Russian language for me is like a breath of fresh air, like a breath of thirst-quenching water after a long thirst, and like a ray of bright and warm sun after a long, long darkness. More dear than the Russian language - there is no language !!!

Many people do not even think that his language is considered the richest. Why Russian? The answer is very simple, Russian is the only language in the world in which words can be replenished over and over again. From many expressions and invented words, our language, our culture is replenished, because much that was popular with our grandparents is also transferred into our colloquial vocabulary, and our grandchildren will also speak with our phrases.

The Russian language is very difficult, but that doesn't make it less attractive. Many writers said that any conversation can be conducted in Russian: declaration of love, communication with the enemy, friendly conversation, because it is he who can convey all feelings and emotions, better than any other language. The main thing is to learn to be a literate person, you should not shout to the whole world that he is too complicated and that too many stupid rules have been invented.

It should be remembered that the language we speak is a gift of our ancestors and not the teaching of the language - it is equivalent to forget about our relatives, not to accept their culture, to become a stranger among our own. It is especially sad to hear this from a small, still growing generation. After all, they do not yet know that having cognized it, they can open a new world for themselves. In the Russian language there are many words of synonyms, so it will not be difficult for anyone to compose poetry, choosing the right word will not change its meaning. It is very funny to learn new words, because a word meaning one object or action by sound can be associated with a completely different object.

Having fallen in love with the language, it will open up many possibilities for you, I checked all this on my personal experience. After reading a large number of books, you no longer remember the rules, and you freely write sentences without making any mistakes. This is what rich Russian means. So it's best to protect your tongue from a young age.

Composition

All people on our planet can speak. They speak different languages, but in any language the main task remains to help in understanding each other when communicating. The development of society, science, technology, art is impossible without language. Language is the main means of communication. It serves to express thoughts. You must always express your thoughts clearly, accurately and figuratively, what you need to learn. L.N. Tolstoy said: "To use the language somehow - means and think somehow: inaccurate, approximately, incorrect."

The Russian language is the language of the Russian nation. By studying a language, we study the culture and history of the country. For the first time in its modern form, the Russian language appeared in the 19th century, in the era of A.S. Pushkin, since he is the founder of the modern Russian language, in which we speak, and which is understandable to everyone.

Russian is the official language of the Russian Federation. It serves all spheres of human activity on the territory of Russia: all documentation is processed there, teaching is conducted in all educational institutions.

Our country is multinational and the Russian language serves as a means of interethnic communication. He is native to most of our country.

An equally important role of the Russian language in the world: it is an international language (one of the official languages ​​of the UN).

The Russian language has been codified, that is, linguistic phenomena are ordered into a single set of rules.

The Russian language is very diverse. It has a huge amount of expressive means. Has a huge vocabulary. The richness of the language allows not only to name an object, its action or sign, but also to emphasize shades, to express through all this your attitude to the subject of speech. For example: Soon everyone was laughing: the boy in the elevator was laughing, the maid was giggling, the waiters in the restaurant were smiling, the fat hotel chef was grinning, the cooks were screaming, the doorman was grinning, the messengers were fighting, the hotel owner was grinning. (L. Kassil.)

The meanings of words are changed with the help of suffixes and prefixes, which give the subtlest semantic shades: to walk - to leave - to come - to come; girl - girl - girl; blacksmith - smithy - grasshopper.

One and the same thought can be expressed in simple and complex sentences: Alexey is sad. Alexei is grim, because he has not met a friend.

The Russian language includes both literary (in which all the rules fixed in grammar are observed) and non-literary (vernacular, dialects, jargons and argot - cases of deviation from the literary norm): specialist - special

The Russian language is rich and expressive, plays a huge role in the history of civilization, which has been repeatedly noted by writers and cultural figures of various countries and peoples.
