Direction of Linguistic Slavistics in Bashkir State University
Abstract
This article is devoted to the main directions of the Slavic activities of the linguists of the Bashkir State University, namely scientifi c, educational, and cultural and elucidative. Within the framework of the scientific direction, comparative typological (in comparison with the Turkic languages) and sociolinguistic aspects are considered, and the results of the linguogeographic study of the Slavic languages (primarily Russian) are described. The specificity of the educational direction is based on the educational process, which involves the use of both traditional and new forms of studying and teaching foreign Slavic languages (Polish, Czech, Bulgarian, and Serbo-Croatian) within the walls of the Bashkir State University. The role of the mentioned and related disciplines (introduction to Slavic philology, comparative grammar of Slavic languages) in deepening the Slavic training of students of Russian studies is demonstrated. Attention is paid to relations with educational institutions in Slavic countries as an important factor in improving the quality of teaching foreign Slavic languages. The main parameters of the third direction — cultural and elucidative — are considered from the point of view of cooperation with the Slavic national cultural centres of the Republic of Bashkortostan, primarily the Polish Culture Centre and Education “Renaissance” and the Bulgarian Cultural Centre. The promising possibilities of this cooperation in terms of in-depth acquaintance of students with the history and culture of the country of the studied Slavic language are demonstrated. It is shown that cultural and elucidative work in the field of Slavic studies is integrated into scientific and educational activities and, combined, constitutes one of the facets of a single process aimed at maximizing student knowledge of foreign Slavic languages and fostering a tolerant attitude towards them.
