Russian language is one of the international and among the top five in the number of people speaking it.It is the official language in Russia, ethnic countries of the former USSR, the official at the United Nations.The unique, informative, an abundance of stylistic, linguistic, expressive means and opportunities - that's a small fraction of those virtues that are inherited through the centuries of its existence, the Russian language.Quotes from great writers, Slavic culture and its special place in our language (it belongs to the eastern branch) emphasize that over time its role in the world community only strengthened.
However, only enough to master his colloquial form.A truly educated person is one who has mastered the laws and characteristics of literary language, which worked at all times the best writers and poets of Russia.
What we have - do not store ...
But, unfortunately, at the present stage of Russian state (both spoken and literary) language is causing more controversy and received a mixed assessment.Some believe that everyday we must fully reflect the realities of life, and therefore allow the use of large amounts of debt (they were always there, but there was a measure), youth slang and jargon, abusive, and even foul language.Others, usually people with philological education, were concerned with the fact that age-old pride of the people (remember the numerous statements of outstanding writers of the Russian language) may cease to be so in the future.And this is understandable.Very often, a TV screen or a high political platform (assuming that there are educated people) we hear it with a lot of grammatical errors and orthoepic, visible even to the ordinary student.But recently the profession of the speaker or the speaker demanded special training, and the performance itself was the standard of a competent speech for every citizen of the vast country.
What are the causes and such a rapid development in the Russian language, adversely affecting its status of phenomena?
speak properly - not fashionable
Sadly sounds, but that's it.Listeners sometimes are more attracted to the interlocutor's ability to show off the beautiful mot, especially foreign ones.It does not matter whether it is appropriate it is used (it is worth to quote Vladimir Belinsky, who wrote that the use of foreign words in place of the existing Russian can be perceived as an insult to "common sense and taste ...") and is not distorted if its value.Often regarded in the community and the ability to stand out from the crowd, even if it demonstrates a complete ignorance or disregard of accepted norms of etiquette.In this regard, it recalls not one statement about the Russian language by Russian writers.For example, that somehow deal with the language - so, too, and think somehow (Tolstoy).Chekhov, reflecting on the qualities of an educated person, said that for him to speak ill "should be considered as indecent as not to be able to read and write."It would be nice to know and remember that our politicians, cultural figures, workers of TV and radio, preparing for all sorts of public speaking.
Savings words - a sign of fast-flowing time
Another negative phenomenon, leading to the impoverishment of the Russian language - active use in daily life of mobile phones and the Internet.For all their merits, it should be noted that modern humans have virtually ceased to write and read.Under constant rush short SMS have become the main means of communication not only teenagers and young people, but also those who are older.But already existed for centuries the traditional letter and all are gone - they were replaced by electronic messages, usually consisting of a few short phrases, hastily decorated.On the one hand, of course, a good thing that the current generation is learning concisely express their thoughts and to react flexibly.After all, even Nekrasov called to say so, "said to have been close and thoughts - spacious."That's just like a short statement about the Russian language and the benefits of concise speech is often taken literally.As a result of the brevity becomes a manifestation of limited thinking, lack of vocabulary, not a sharp mind.
great strength of artistic expression
real trouble of the current generation, as mentioned above, is that it almost ceased to read.Classic works that a couple of decades ago and avidly re-read several times today for many students - and not only!- Become a back-breaking labor.What is really there to enjoy the magnificent poetry of Pushkin, Lermontov, Blok, Yesenin, Tsvetayeva ... or a sincere empathy to the heroes of Gogol, Turgenev, Tolstoy, Bunin, Chekhov, Bulgakov ... Today overcome their summary - already a success.Meanwhile, quotations and statements about Russian literature confirms the long familiar to all thought, reading good works of art helps to learn to speak beautifully and correctly, concisely and accurately express their thoughts.For example, Mikhail Lomonosov at the time the book was considered a source of "beauty, majesty, power and wealth of the Russian language."Descartes also called reading good books "Conversations with the best people of times gone by ...".And only those who are fully able to enjoy the language of art, will open the true meaning of the phrase K. Paustovsky: "Many Russian words radiate poetry ...".
dominates pop and tabloids
What gets in return classical literature youth who tomorrow will represent our country and manage it?Mostly short but memorable "Musi-Pusi" and "clap eyelashes" in meaningless pop songs with rhythmic music.Or the endless rumor-bones and primitive subjects in low-brow publications: tabloid, tabloid detective stories and novels about love.And who are already here will recall the statements of the great writers of the Russian language, which he called a "flexible, lush, inexhaustibly rich, intelligent poetic instrument" (Tolstoy), helps in life, or "the most precious thing," in which "all granular, big as he Pearl "(Nikolai Gogol).
love for the country begins with the love of language
Such reasoning is fed back to one important thought.Each person should always remember one thing: without a good knowledge of the native language can not be a patriot, which is confirmed by a short statement about the Russian language.The national language - a "history of the people, the way of civilization and culture" (Kuprin), "the confession of the people, its soul and life ..." (P. Vyazemsky).That is why very often along with the documentary sources for the full understanding of the processes occurring during the development of the country, get acquainted with folk works (especially proverbs, songs, epics), masterpieces of classical literature, academic vocabulary.
Summing up, I want to draw attention to the famous words of Nikolai Karamzin that you can not call yourself a patriot without love for native language.
place in the world
indifference of many people to own speech is especially disappointing against the background of the recognition of the merits of our grammar foreigners.For example, the best statement of the Russian language to foreign workers emphasize his superiority over the other known languages.The richest of all "European dialects", "language poetry" called it the French writer Mérimée, "beautiful", "the most powerful and rich living language" - Engels.It is appropriate here will be saying about the Russian language by Russian writers.Worldwide recognition and superiority of Russian grammar celebrated poet Mikhail Lomonosov and Derzhavin AM.According to the same Dostoevsky, only fully mastered the native language, you can learn a foreign language.Wonderful and the view of Tolstoy, who owned the French beautifully.He admitted that the last pass only to "show off", but from the heart, you can talk only in Russian.
«Russian language - one of the richest languages in the world ...»
So wrote a century and a half ago, Belinsky.Carefully read the statements of the great writers of the Russian language, we can gradually grasp the laws of perfect speech, which became, as already noted, a rarity these days."There are no sounds, colors, images and thoughts, which would not find the exact expression", - said K. Paustovsky.And Chekhov, trying to protect his contemporaries and descendants from excessive sophistication in words, warned: "The language should be simple and elegant."Then, in the right hands it is believed Kuprin, will be "beautiful, melodious, expressive, flexible, docile, agile and spacious," and, according to K. Paustovsky with him will be "to work miracles."
filled with love and respect, and every utterance Russian poets of the Russian language.
«great, mighty, truthful and free ...»
such epithets bestowed mother tongue Turgenev, author of prose poems, famous, perhaps, every inhabitant of the country.In it the writer sees "support and assistance", which requires far away from home.The work is permeated with inexhaustible love for the main treasure of the people who helps to objectively assess what is happening in the country.Such feelings experienced Ivan S. and respect for the Russian people - the great medium of language.These two concepts are inseparable in the mind of the writer, as evidenced by a short statement about the Russian language, "you can not believe that such language was not given a great nation."
"Mother tongue"
complete contradiction sublime and somewhat tragic symbolist poem Bryusov.Poet frank in his confessions that language is for him the embodiment of the best achievements of the Russian people.It provides dedicated wings, save in the "clock impotence", immersed in the mystery of the strange sounds.However, for the poet Russian language is not only a "true friend", but also "an insidious enemy," "King," which wrapped fetters and never lets go.Because Bruce rightfully demands for himself all of his inherited wealth.This statement about the Russian language, Russian writers and poets proves their special mission on earth: to preserve the great promise given to the people, and give it to the descendants."Your world - my abode forever," - draws a line under his own thoughts Bryusov, defining the place of the Russian language in my life.
works of K. Balmont
river and steppe expanse filled with screaming eagle and wolf roar, ringing pilgrimage and cooing doves, murmuring key and spring beam, he sees the Russian language in the same poem.Word Wizard helps the poet to describe the unique beauty of the country, to express love for the paternal home, and Russia, which he was forced to leave forever.
given in this article, quotes, sayings of the great Russian language echo the words of another work of K. Balmont - "Russian language: Will as a basis for creativity."In it the poet calls the native language of the "true, native, pure, excellent," component "is one of the main mascots" great Russia.It is enough to touch the Russian language, and it will grant splendid picture, familiar to everyone since childhood.And the prayer of sound for Balmont famous lines also longing in exile Turgenev.
«courage»
Another great poem belongs to Anna Akhmatova, it was written in 1941 in besieged Leningrad.Akhmatova speaks in the most difficult time for the country on behalf of all generations, who defended the country and the main national patrimony, "... we will preserve you, Russian speech ...."This is her first task as a poet and citizen capable of "Great Russian word" inspire and support of compatriots.And like the oath sound last lines of the poem: "free and clear ... you flew from bondage forever."
Indeed, such statements of Russian writers of the Russian language, beautiful poems about his power and strength not just to support the people in the most difficult thing for him and for the country.
Summarizing
Undoubtedly, the Russian literary language of the golden fund of our country.And written on it artistic works are included in the treasury of world literature.And to every utterance of the Russian language by Russian writers, poets and other cultural figures after decades and centuries were imbued with the same pride in what they are its bearers, the faith in His power, we need to preserve what we have inherited passed.
