Eliminating extra words

If you come across task 20 in the first formulation, you are lucky, because eliminating an extra word is much easier than choosing a replacement word.

The exclusion of a word is associated with redundancy of speech (repetition of what has been said), which is scientifically called tautology or pleonasm. Different textbooks interpret the concepts of "tautology" and "pleonasm" differently, don't think about it. To complete the task in the Unified State Exam, it is enough to understand the essence of the phenomenon.

You will easily understand why it was necessary to cross out the words in this text.

Such errors are of the same type, they are often found in speech, some pleonasms are even stable phrases, so you can make a small dictionary of pleonasms and learn the phrases you need to pay attention to in the exam.

Brief dictionary of pleonasms

young girl (all girls are young, there are no old ones)
elderly old man (all old people are elderly)
go down (you can only go down)
rise up (similar)
development of progress (progress is development)
my autobiography (an autobiography is always written by the person himself)
morning breakfast (breakfast is always in the morning)
debut for the first time (debut - first performance)
screenshot (screen - screenshot)
price list (the price list is the prices)
exhibition piece (exhibit - exhibited item)
antagonistic struggle (in the meaning of the word “struggle” there is already the meaning of “antagonism”)
constant constant (constant - constant)
transport transportation (there is no other transportation, it is always transported by some kind of transport, even a cart is transport)
free vacancy (vacancy - free place)
during the month of March (March is the month)
resume again (this is understandable)
the best (see about the formation of the degree of comparison of adjectives and adverbs)
the maximum discount (maximum discount - nowhere else)
he met them personally (if he met, he could only do it in person)

There are more such examples in the webinar recording (see below).

It is much more difficult to find and correct an error associated with a violation of lexical compatibility.

Replacing an incorrectly used word

To find the word that needs to be replaced, you must first highlight a couple of words that cannot be related to each other in meaning or don't sound together. They say about such phrases: “It sounds kind of clumsy,” “It’s not said in Russian.”

So, we find two words that for some reason do not combine in meaning and do not sound together.

Examples of lexical compatibility violations

it doesn't matter (it did great importance)
it carries (plays) a certain function
due to severe frosts (enemy advance, terrible flood, illness...)
sudden departure, withdrawal (sudden dismissal)
defeat
increase (decrease) level

Breaking tradition

answer to the problem
brown hair
a pack of horses
swarm of fish

Changing phraseological units

sworn friends
throw words to the wind

Unjustified oxymoron

dead end exit
monstrously beautiful
notorious excellent students
outrageous achievements
shortcomings achieved
make things worse
pursued by luck
scream in a whisper

Stylistic inconsistency

erected a barn
beautiful faces of criminals

One of these words must be replaced with one that is similar in sound, spelling, maybe in meaning, but suitable for the second word. In real texts, such a replacement is not always possible, but for the Unified State Examination they will select easier options.

Rule: Task 6 (OGE). Lexical meaning of the word. Groups of words by origin and use.

Task formulation:

replace the colloquial word with a stylistically neutral synonym in a sentence, write down this word;

replace the bookish word with a stylistically neutral synonym in the sentence, write down this word;

replace the colloquial phrase with a stylistically neutral one, write down this phrase.

1. What do you need to know when completing this task?

Synonyms are words, most often of the same part of speech, different in sound, but identical or similar in lexical meaning , often differing in stylistic coloring: here - here, look - look think - think, cruel - merciless, neighborhood - districts etc.

A group of words consisting of several synonyms is called synonymous row: sleep - rest - snooze.

First word sleep- is stylistically neutral, because the most common, can be used in any style of speech, has minimal expression; in the dictionary it is the first in the synonymous row. Word rest used mainly in book style, it gives speech an archaic character (as they said in the old days). Sleep- this synonym sounds rude (such words are called colloquial) and is used in colloquial speech.

2. What do you need to understand when completing this task? That colloquial words are words allowed in casual oral speech. And that they can only be used in certain conditions. In order not to replace one spoken word with another, the help of dictionaries is needed. They help us explanatory dictionaries famous authors Ozhegov, Efremova, as well as a dictionary of synonyms by Alexandrov.

When searching for a word, pay attention to the notes: colloquial, simple And Under no circumstances should we choose words with such marks as an answer.

Let's look at an example. We hesitated on the way, so we arrived at the appointed place in the dark

In Ozhegov’s dictionary: TO DELAY, I think, I think; Sovereign (colloquial). To linger, to stay longer than necessary somewhere; slow down Z. at a friend's place. Z. with the answer.

As can be seen from the article, this word does not have a neutral meaning, so you need to look for other words. As a rule, this word is already present in the interpretation, here it is - “to linger.” Alexandrov's practical dictionary of synonyms will help us find more synonymous words. While searching for the word “hesitate,” we come across an article with the word

HOLD and its meanings:

1. get stuck (colloquial)

/ about a person: delay;

sit down, get stuck, hesitate, linger, linger, bury, get lost (colloquial)

// visiting or at work: stay late (colloquial)

// visiting, staying (colloquial)

/ about business: slow down, drag out;

slow down, stall (colloquial)

2. see be late

Notice how many words are marked decomposition! Thus, we see that the word “hesitate” needs to be replaced with the neutral word DELAYED, and this is the most accurate, most correct answer. Neither “hesitate”, nor “slow down”, nor “linger” will suit us, because our word in a sentence has a certain meaning.

So, the algorithm for completing the task will be as follows:

1. Read the sentence and determine the lexical meaning of the word specified in the task.

2. Select possible synonyms for this word.

3. Determine which of these synonyms

− most commonly used;

− does not have a connotation of bookishness or conversationality;

− has minimal expression (that is, there are practically no emotions in it);

− stands first in the synonymous row, opening it.

4. Insert the word into the sentence; it must be suitable both in terms of grammatical characteristics and meaning.

3. Consider the specifics of entering an answer in the “answer” field

1) Enter the answer to ONE selected word (or phrase) in the answer field.

2) Check if the form of gender, number, tense, aspect is correct. Remember that we are replacing one word with another, so we cannot use perfect instead of imperfect, past tense instead of present, etc. Put the word in the SAME form as in the sentence.

3) Particles NOT, WOULD not need to be written in response.

4) Sometimes there are tasks in which the specified form in the task does not coincide with the form in the sentence. For example, in the condition “Replace the word throw...in the sentence..”, and in the sentence “they threw it.” In this case, you need to write the form in the condition. If you come across such a task during the exam, be sure to draw the attention of your assistants to this fact, right up to writing an application.

5) Due to the fact that the number of synonyms can reach 5-6 words, the editor enters NO MORE THAN THREE words in the “answer” field.

The rest - possible, acceptable or impossible - are written in the explanation of the task. We strongly recommend that you do not suggest new words, but stick to the rule: the most the right word FIRST in a series of synonyms. And then you will certainly receive a point for this task.

Theory for task No. 6 of the Unified State Exam in Russian

Lexical norms (or norms of word usage)- these are norms that determine the correctness of choosing a word from a number of units that are close to it in meaning or form, as well as its use in the meanings that it has in the literary language.

Type of lexical error	Explanation	Example
Violation of lexical compatibility of words	Words in speech and text must be combined in meaning and meaning. In case of violation of this rule lexical inconsistency arises.	Lean your back, suffer victory
Inaccurate use of phraseological units	Phraseologism is a lexically indivisible, stable phrase (hang your nose, sit in a galosh).	“Not worth an egg” instead of “Not worth a damn”; "lion's share" instead of "lion's share"; “plays a big role” instead of “plays a role” or “is of great importance”
Failure to distinguish shades of meaning of paronyms	Paronyms are words that sound similar, but do not have the same meaning (long and lasting, mountainous and mountainous, watery and watery, spectacular and effective).	The long day has left me tired.
Failure to distinguish shades of meaning of paronyms		The long day has left me tired.
Use of unnecessary words, including pleonasms	Pleonasms are phrases in which one of the two words is superfluous because its meaning coincides with the meaning of the adjacent word.	main point, vacancy, my autobiography, strict taboo
The use of words with the same root in a close context (tautology)	repetition of the same root or identical words	organize an organization, ask a question, offer a proposal
Errors in using synonyms	Synonyms are words of the same part of speech that are close in meaning. Synonyms cannot always replace each other in speech, especially stylistically different words (friend - comrade - buddy, youth - youth, smart - smart, work hard, etc.)	She went to the doctor because her eyes (instead of her eyes) hurt. The lawyer sought to have his client cleared (instead of acquitted).
Incorrect use of antonyms and homonyms	Antonyms are words that are opposite in their lexical meaning to one part of speech (cold - hot, friend - enemy).	Due to the weakness of his position, it was difficult for him to defend himself (inappropriate use of the antonyms “strength” and “weakness”).
	Homonyms are words that are the same in form (in pronunciation, in writing), but different in meaning (mUka, flour).
		At the Russian Language Olympiad, I lost my glasses due to inattention (glasses are points or glasses are an optical device that protects the eyes).
Inappropriate use of outdated vocabulary, neologisms, professionalisms, jargon, dialectisms, borrowed words, ambiguous words.	Historicisms are words denoting those that have disappeared from modern life objects, phenomena that have become irrelevant concepts (chain mail, cocked hat, corvee, etc.).	Timely and high-quality weeding of beetroot contributes to a good harvest. (beets)
	Archaisms are words that are outdated for linguistic reasons and have fallen out of use because they have been replaced by synonyms (lanits - cheeks, eyes - eyes, actor - actor). Neologisms are new words that have not yet taken a place in the active vocabulary. Neologisms appear in the language together with the designated realities (harvester, astronaut, satellite).	He was presented as a sort of polyglot: he is a physicist, a mathematician, and a poet.
	Dialectism is a lexical unit, the use of which is limited to a certain territory.	He was in low health (meaning poor health).
	Borrowed words are words that came into a language from other languages.	Our athlete lagged behind her opponent in development. (chess term – game development)
	Polysemous words are words that have multiple meanings.

Algorithm for completing the task

We carefully read the task.
We carefully read the sentence: we are looking for paronyms, pleonasms, phraseological units, synonyms, antonyms, homonyms, obsolete words, neologisms, ambiguous words.
We are looking for an error in the use of a lexical unit.
Write down the correct answer.

Algorithm for completing the task:

involved in the incident– those taking part in the incident – everything is correct; preventing such cases– taking some measures to prevent this from happening again – that’s all right.
Made a number of decisions– decisions cannot be made or completed; word done is used incorrectly, the word should be used instead accepted.

Answer: accepted.

Are looking for set expressions and combinations of words, possibly speech cliches, in which a mistake may be made. Particularly noteworthy is the combination of words were defeated.
Defeated- You can only suffer defeat, but you win.

Answer: we failed.

Third version of the task

Edit the sentence: correct the lexical error by eliminating the extra word. Write this word down.

The employer appreciated my professional skills, but at that time there were no available vacancies.

Algorithm for completing the task:

It is necessary to correct a lexical error and write down an extra word.
We are looking for stable expressions and combinations of words, perhaps speech cliches in which a mistake may be made: assessed professional skills– correct use of words; no vacancies found– error in use – pleonasm.
Available vacancies- word free superfluous, since the word vacancies in itself means a free workplace.

Answer: free .

Theory for Task No. 20 Unified State Exam 2019 in Russian

"Punctuation marks in sentences with different types connections."

Execution algorithm:
1) First, select grammar basics, we find the boundaries of sentences so as not to miss any.
2) Next, we find the main sentence in the composition: one must be without a conjunction. This can be either simple or SSP.
3) We look for subordinate clauses from the main one, if there are several of them, we look at how they are connected to each other (see Task 18, namely, homogeneous, heterogeneous, consistent submission). We place commas in accordance with the rules.
4) If other subordinate clauses depend on subordinate clauses, place commas there too.
5) The junction of unions (two unions side by side). We look for the junction of unions and check according to the rule given below:
At the junction of two conjunctions (coordinating and subordinating or two subordinating) you need to pay special attention!
and when/and, when
and what/and what
and where / and where
what if/what if, etc.
We check as follows: we take the subordinate clause at the junction and rearrange it to another place or to the end of the sentence. If you can rearrange it, put a comma at the junction. If you can’t rearrange it, we don’t put it there.

A comma is needed
At the junction of subordinating conjunctions or coordinating and subordinating conjunctions a comma is placed between them if the subordinate clause can be removed and the construction of the entire sentence does not require restructuring.

We walked along the embankment and when it started to rain, we opened our umbrellas.
We were walking along the embankment, so when it started to rain, we went into a cafe.

No comma needed
At the junction of subordinating conjunctions or coordinating and subordinating conjunctions, a comma is not placed between them if subordinate clause follows the second part of the double conjunction.

He left, and where he is now, I don’t know.
It started to rain. He knew that if he went outside, he would get wet to the skin.
