Lexical errors
Recently, with each new adopted legislative act, the rules of the Russian language are simplified, and this simplification sometimes reaches the point of absurdity. It would seem, say whatever you want, write as you hear. However, lexical errors associated with the incorrect use of words, the substitution of meanings, are still conspicuous. It is worth considering in more detail this topic and try to improve your speech.
Vocabulary (lexicology) - a branch of the science of language, aimed at studying the vocabulary of the language from various sides: changing the meaning of words, their origin, the introduction of borrowed words , etc.
By lexical norms we mean the use of words in the right context, given their significance; The choice of suitable words depending on the situation in which the subject is located, and so on. Violation of lexical norms occurs throughout the world in both written and oral speech . For a better understanding, you need to turn to practice. Let's consider the basic lexical errors.
Examples:
- Violation of lexical compatibility
The girl paid a lot of care to her brother, who was ill with the flu a week ago. You can only pay attention, and care should be said, using the verb to exercise.
Such lexical errors often occur when people "pull out" a verb from an established phrase and use it where it is not appropriate.
In the gym hangs a triangular pear. In its meaning, the pear can not be a priori triangular.
2. Missing a word, which may result in loss of meaning
The nature of my sister, like my father, is inherent in some oddities. It should be explained here, as well as the nature of the father, otherwise it can be argued that oddities are inherent to the father. Undoubtedly, in the speech such use is acceptable, however, the author in this situation had in mind just the characters.
3. Word of mouth. Such violation of lexical norms should be divided into component parts:
- meaningless repetition of the word
Yesterday I went to the store. In the store I bought tomatoes, but when I went home from the store, I remembered that I had not bought potatoes and beetroot. Back in the store, I found that the store was closed.
The word "shop" could be successfully replaced by pronouns there, there, there or various synonyms.
- tautology
They do not like non-Russians here.
At first it seemed to me that at the beginning of the sentence there should be a comma.
- pleonasm - the presence in the text of unnecessary clarifying words
In this book there are a lot of pictures.
Let's consider some more lexical errors.
4. Inappropriate use of the word of foreign origin
In the confrontation of the two wrestlers, there was something fascinating, from which I could not take my eyes off. Such a duo is worthy of admiration.
The concept of a duet is applied to two participants, who together carry out some kind of activity - singers, actors, etc. Here we are talking about rivalry.
5. Incorrect interpretation of paronyms and, as a result, substitution of one word for another.
He gave a dinner of silence. Obviously, the sentence must have a word of vow.
Yesterday we went to dinner together. Idle can be life, and dinner - festive.
Thus, we disassembled common lexical errors, examples of which were considered above. Undoubtedly, this list is not exhaustive - one can remember about archaisms, neologisms, antonyms and many other things, but I wanted to dwell more precisely on popular mistakes that everyone has on hearing.
Violation of lexical norms should not become a habit, this state of affairs must be abandoned. Known folk and proven method of improving speech, which requires only a desire and time. Classic. Yes, exactly, read the domestic classics with its turns and twists, thereby reducing, to the minimum, lexical errors in your speech.
