NATIONAL AND CULTURAL FEATURES OF THE SCIENTIFIC STYLE OF SPEECH AND ACCOUNTING FOR THEM DURING THE PROCESS OF TEACHING RUSSIAN AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE

Abstract

The anthropocentric orientation of modern science has foregrounded multi-aspect issues connected with language and culture interaction, language consciousness comprehension, etc. In modern linguistic researches paradigms centred on the relation between language and mental categories have acquired particular importance. The methodology of teaching Russian as a foreign language has also recently combined the principles of the systematic conception of the language and the integrative approach to the language and culture phenomena. Every language has its own national characteristics featured in various functional styles and on different levels of the language. The scientific style dealing with the field of science and production also has its own national characteristics featured on different language levels: terminology, morphology, syntax, etc. Accounting for them allows to reveal problematical areas, anticipate translation difficulties and avoid errors. Knowledge of these linguistic features helps to motivate students to successfully master the scientific style of speech and further use it in their professional activities.
