THE EXPRESSION OF CAUSAL RELATIONS IN A SIMPLE SENTENCE IN CHINESE AND RUSSIAN IN THE ASPECT OF NATIONALLY ORIENTED TEACHING OF RUSSIAN AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE

Abstract

The article discusses features of expressing causal relations by means of a simple sentence in Chinese and Russian. Causal relations are one of the most difficult grammatical topics both from the point of view of teaching Russian as a foreign language and from the position of its study. The author considers the optimal methodology of nationally oriented teaching, which provides for teaching from the perspective of the interaction of the native and the studied foreign languages. Based on this, grammatical models of the expression of causal relations with the help of prepositional-nominal combinations are presented. Method of return reconstruction allowed to create a translation of the Russian model into Chinese and to show the reverse translation into Russian, which made it possible to see discrepancies and potential difficult places in the grammars of the two languages. Such work will allow to form a complex of special exercises aimed at consolidating the skill of expressing causal relations among Chinese students studying Russian.
