The article summarizes domestic and foreign experience of creating textbooks in а game format and presents an innovative concept of educational gamificated phraseographic text intended for the younger schoolchildren. The goals and objectives of the game dictionary projects of the Experimental laboratory of educational lexicography of Pskov state University are determined. The macrostructure and parametric model of educational gamificated dictionaries are presented. The lexicographical game techniques of etymologization of phraseological units are described. The results of the training experiment conducted in schools of Pskov on the materials of the author's dictionaries are also presented. They confirm the effectiveness of the developed methodology of gamificated lexicographical representation of phraseology and the practical value of dictionaries.

Innovative Approaches to Creating Training Phraseological Dictionary as Interactive Hypertext

The article reviews material on Russian training phraseography, in particular, it contains an analysis of the disadvantages of the interpretation of idioms in phraseological dictionaries for primary school learners. The author presents her own technology of creating an innovative phraseological dictionary for primary school children which combines traditional principles for describing idioms in phraseological dictionaries with stimulation of an interactive dialogue between the author and the young reader.

EDUCATIONAL GUIDANCE IN PHRASEOLOGY AS A MEANS OF LINGUOCULTURAL COMPETENCY DEVELOPMENT OF FOREIGN STUDENTS

The article covers the issues of linguocultural competency of foreign students based on the phraseological material. Ethnocultural content of the Russian phraseological units has been reviewed, as well as their connection to Russian history and culture. A dictionary-type educational guidance is presented as a means of development of the linguocultural competency.The structure of the dictionary entry is shown, parametric zones of which correlate with the components of the linguocultural competency - language and cultural knowledge, receptive and productive speaking skills.

Reported speech forms a dedicated syntactic domain

In many languages, expressions of the type ‘x said: “p”’, ‘x said that p’ or ‘allegedly, p’ share properties with common syntactic types such as construc- tions with subordination, paratactic constructions, and constructions with sen- tence-level adverbs. On closer examination, however, they often turn out to be atypical members of these syntactic classes. In this paper we argue that a more coherent picture emerges if we analyse these expressions as a dedicated syntac- tic domain in itself, which we refer to as ‘reported speech’. Based on typological observations we argue for the idiosyncrasy of reported speech as a syntactic class. The article concludes with a proposal for a cross-linguistic characterisa- tion that aims at capturing this broadly conceived domain of reported speech with a single semantic definition.Peer reviewe

IMPROVING THE PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCE OF STUDENTS - PHILOLOGISTS IN THE LEXICOGRAPHICAL WORKSHOP

The article presents the concept of improving the professional competence of students-philologists within the framework of lexicographical workshop. The potential of dictionaries as a means of forming professional competence of students-philologists, in our opinion, is not fully realized in the practice of University teaching of linguistic disciplines. Dictionary materials as a linguistic and methodological resource are used mainly in the formation and improvement of "user" skills in the field of lexicography. Students are rarely involved in the compilation of vocabulary materials. The novelty of our concept is that we offer a comprehensive improvement of professional competence of the student-philologist on lexicographical material, and not only the skills of using dictionaries. The purpose of our study, implemented on the basis of Pskov University, was to substantiate this concept, to implement it in the framework of experimental training of students-philologists, to conduct a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the results of the experiment. This article presents the theoretical foundations of the concept, shows the specific methods of formation of various components of linguistic and cultural competence of students on lexicographical material. The results of experimental training, which are also given in the article, showed a significant increase in the level of professional competence of students, and thus confirmed the effectiveness of the developed model of lexicographic workshop.
