Lexical norms of the Russian language

Lexical norms are those norms, through which the rules of use and combination in the speech of words are regulated. The use of the latter is determined by the peculiarities of their lexical meanings. Lexical meaning in another way can be called the content of the word, which displays the Russian person's idea of the subject or process, the property of the object or phenomenon.

Lexical norms define the process of appropriate and proper use of a particular word or expression, depending on its meaning, accuracy and expressiveness. Sometimes people try to express their feelings overwhelming them, but, having a small vocabulary, they repeat the same phrase, desperately gesticulating. To look at this monologue from the side is rather ridiculous, but here it is simply sickening to be a listener of this "speech".

On this occasion, there are wonderful ironic poems written by Agniya Barto. They talk about how the girl listens to the story of her older brother about the movie she just watched.

They told her - time!

She told them!

But here just

He saved her.

Here is a vivid example of speech when lexical norms are violated fundamentally, since the phrases are absolutely devoid of an exact expression of the speaker's thoughts.

Today, this "ailment" suffers most of the young people. Unable to find the right word, tongue-tied people resort to the use of words-parasites, street argoes and even obscene expressions.

The second most important aspect of correct beautiful speech, which is also included in lexical norms, is the compatibility of words. For example, often in the Russian language the expression "deep old age" is used, but the phrase "deep youth" can cause only a grin. Like this violation of the Russian colloquial language, humorists came up with the phrase "deeply and irretrievably pregnant", "pathologically incurably healthy" or "talking function".

There is also a violation of lexical norms in the language, as a mix of paronyms - words that can be single-root and similar in sound, and also correlated in a semantic and logical sense, but differing in exact meaning. For example, these are the words "remnants" and "remains", "economical" and "economic."

Lexical norms also do not allow inaccuracy in the use of words. Jokes, created on the basis of ridiculous phrases from school works, can not leave indifferent any Russian people. Of course, just imagine the picture: Onegin "urinates" with cologne! Or here: Tatiana is riding in a carriage "with a raised back" !! Or the phrase about the holey pants, "through which you can see his proletarian origin" !!!

And on the door of the supermarket you can see an ad written, alas, is no longer a schoolboy: "Enter through the anus", and in the dining room: "Do not dunk your fingers and eggs ..."

Lexical norms of the Russian language also do not tolerate pleonasms, that is, similar in meaning words, used side by side. For example, those can be called phrases "brave and brave man" and "free vacancy", "the strongest" and "main essence".

Even more absurd is the tautology in Russian speech - the use of single-root words. "Organize an organization," "record a record," "prick an injection," "tell a story," "brush your hair" is just a fraction of those pearls that are often used in speech by some Russian people.

Disregard for lexical norms gave rise to such a speech incident as speech insufficiency. At Dontsova there is an episode when the parent, having come to school for conversation with the class teacher of the child, sees in the wardrobe a sign: "Hanger for teachers".

But if you take a closer look and think about it, you can see a lot of such ads everywhere! When you realize that the norms of Russian literature are often trampled on by Russian people who should be proud of their language and culture, they become upset to tears.

Gentlemen of the Russians! Let's try to speak in the right, imaginative, beautiful Russian language, on which are written the greatest literary works of Pushkin and Lermontov, Dostoevsky and Tolstov, Prishvin, Leskov, Fet and many others.
