Precedent Texts from the “Cinema” Sphere in the Russian Media: Linguistic and Methodological Aspects
The article analyzes the precedent units from the sphere of “Cinema” used in the Russian print media, identifies film genres that have served as sources of precedent texts, and considers the possibility of including precedent texts from the sphere of cinema in the content of teaching Russian to foreign students with the aim of their socio-cultural adaptation in the Russian-speaking environment. The precedent texts are carriers of national and cultural semantics, representatives of national culture, which are part of the background knowledge of Russians. They contain information about the history and culture of the country, about social connections and everyday life, about customs and traditions of the people. The precedent texts are represented by titles of literary works, movies, proverbs, phraseology, quotations from works of fiction, films, songs, advertisements. Appealing to cinema as a source of precedent units is due to the fact that cinema has a special place among other mass media. With its high pragmatic potential, the cinema plays a major role in forming cultural competence among representatives of various linguistic and cultural communities.
