Modern Russian language as one of the forms of national culture is not only the language of the Russian nation, but also the linguistic community that has developed historically: dialects, dialects, dialects, jargons and other forms of speech culture.
The highest form of development of the national language has become the Russian literary language, which differs from other forms of manifestation in that it is normalized, processed, compulsory for everyone, and is characterized by wide social functioning and stylistic diversity. Literary language is always opposed to jargons, dialects and dialects. Modern Russian language is one of the means of interethnic communication and interaction of the peoples of the entire Russian Federation.
Modern Russian literary language is not only literature, but also print, television, radio, schools and state acts. That is, it is a normalized language, with established meanings and uses of words, strict spelling, pronunciation and grammar. The modern Russian language is represented by two forms - oral and written, which are slightly, but differ from each other both in terms of grammar and vocabulary. The written form of the language is designed for visual perception, and the oral - for auditory. The written form is syntactically and lexically complex, it is dominated by terminological and abstract vocabulary, often international. Modern Russian language consists of several sections: vocabulary, phraseology, phonetics, orthoepy, word formation, spelling, graphics, grammar, syntax and morphology, punctuation.
The current state of the Russian language
The media has a great influence on the modern Russian language: the pronunciation and use of words become less stringent, often colloquial or vernacular forms become a variant of the language norm. And the very concept of “norm” now is more likely the right to choose one or another pronunciation or use of words, rather than a rigid language framework. The current state of the Russian language is gradually beginning to cause concern: the language of the media is far from an exemplary, reference literary.
Linguists and researchers say that all changes are natural and normal, that language develops with society. On the one hand, this is good: the speech constraint, the cliches that were inherent in the oral literary language of the USSR period disappeared. But, on the other hand, slang sounds, vernaculars and foreign words are heard from the screens . Borrowing from foreign languages is becoming more and more, which adversely affects the purity of the original Russian language. Yes, time goes forward, and language changes with the development of society, but it’s one thing to decorate speech with foreign words, and another is the loss of traditions and the loss of native culture.
The Russian literary language is the legacy of Pushkin and Lermontov - great writers who have made a huge contribution to its formation and development, the Russian literary language is the bearer of great Russian culture, which has no analogues in the world. It is necessary to preserve it and not let it collapse under the influence of external factors.
