  1. The lexical meaning of the word.
  2. Synonyms, homonyms, antonyms.
  3. Phraseological turns.
  4. Groups of words by use and origin.
  5. Lexical analysis of words.

Everything seems to be known and understood. But here is where I want to warn you.

The first point involves checking how rich your personal lexical baggage. Of course, it is very problematic to replenish it in a week, a month or even a year. But you need to read more, listen to the speech of interesting people, try to remember new words and their lexical meaning, use these words in your speech. On our site there are words borrowed from other languages. There are about a hundred such words in the dictionary. They are used quite often in modern speech. Read them. Do you know their lexical meaning? Try to remember the lexical meaning of new words for you. Here is a small part of this dictionary:

For the second point can also be difficult. For example, in the task it was proposed to find contextual synonyms or antonyms. And among homonyms can be homophones, homoforms, homomorphemes. So you need to repeat the material not according to the textbook for the fifth grade, but according to serious scientific literature. Undoubtedly, you will be helped in these matters on our website.

Just about synonyms, antonyms on the exam there are questions. But more often it is contextual synonyms and contextual antonyms. What are contextual synonyms and antonyms, I will explain to you now.

Words can be correctly evaluated only in the context, that is, surrounded by other words (phrase, period, stanza) from the given text. Sometimes context serves the whole work. AT context the word takes on a more precise meaning, sometimes completely different.

Analyzing the game of artists, with the help of contextual antonyms K.S. Stanislavsky shows what a talented actor can turn a performance into: “With a sincere and simple transfer by the artist of the role stage action turns into real life, and the embodied image begins to live; often the unnatural becomes plausible, a complex feeling understandable ". This is a compound sentence consisting of four simple ones. And three of them have contextual antonyms. They are highlighted in color.

On the third point the most important thing is to know as much as possible phraseological units understand their lexical meaning. And, which is also very important, you need to know phraseological units exactly, to the last word and letter. Otherwise, you will not find a lexical error in the text. On our site, not only reflected accurately, but also selected by topic. There are more than 10 topics with 5-7 examples each. Here are some of these materials:

  • Animal behavior observation – walk on your hind legs, go into your shell, wag your tail.
  • Warfare – keep the gunpowder dry, command the parade, go with the flow.
  • Sport – second wind, illegal reception, score an own goal.

For the fourth point I will only allow myself to list groups of words according to their use and origin. More details can be found on our website or in the reference literature.

  • original Russian words – father, daughter, good, long, one, two, talk;
  • loanwords – from German: bayonet, junker, corkscrew, soldier, officer; from Italian: aria, solo, concerto, sonata, libretto.
  • Old Slavonicisms – voice - voice; equal - equal; lighting - a candle; unit - one;
  • Active and passive vocabulary: neologisms (barter, manager), archaisms (eye - eye, fingers - fingers).
  • Dialectisms: kuren (house), pimy (felt boots) - words used by the inhabitants of a particular area.
  • Professionalisms – morpheme, syntax, paronyms (special words in the science of language).
  • Jargon and slang – tail (an exam not passed on time - in a student environment).

In the fifth paragraph of the codifier, the lexical analysis of the word is declared. Analysis is analysis. You know morphological, syntactic, phonetic analysis. This is often done in school. Unfortunately, not all students know lexical analysis. You do not have to do a full lexical analysis on the exam. But there may be a question: what is not indicated (or what is indicated incorrectly?) in this lexical analysis of the word? I give an approximate plan for lexical analysis:

  1. The lexical meaning of the word.
  2. Single or multi-valued?
  3. Is it used literally or figuratively in the text?
  4. Find a synonym, homonym, antonym for this word.

And finally, something very important for you. How are the questions formulated in tasks A 2? Do you understand them? I list these questions included in the exam tests of recent years:

  • Which sentence violates lexical norms?
  • In which sentence is it appropriate to use colloquial and colloquial vocabulary?
  • In which sentence should the word guilty be used instead of the word guilty? Indicate a series in the phrases of which there is no extra word (pleonasm)?
  • In which row are all phraseological units used correctly?
  • In which row are paronyms used correctly?
  • Which of the following words means "the first performance of a performance, a circus program?"

    • There are as many questions as the vocabulary material is stated in the codifier and requirements for the level of training of graduates of educational institutions.
