Abstract

The study aims to describe the functional purpose and pragmatic properties of linguistic ecology based on the material of scientific texts about the Earth, their recognition and correct understanding by foreigners mastering the Russian language. Syntaxemes are used for analysis, which are used both in scientific (more often technical) and colloquial styles, the analogy of which is offered in the block of methodological tasks that consolidate the information received. The described system of exercises for distinguishing constructions with a zero connective, ellipsis and sentences without them allows students who speak Russian as a foreign language at elementary and advanced levels to understand easily the everyday speech of native speakers, as well as master the scientific terminology of the language being studied. Summarizing the experience of work at the stages of pre-university and university education, the authors come to the conclusion that the use of the analyzed models and structures as educational material contributes to the implementation of personality-oriented and communicative approaches in the educational space of the university.
