RUSSIAN WORD ORDER CONSTRUCTIONS IN THE ASPECT OF PERCEPTION OF A CHINESE STUDENT

The relevance of this study stems from the need to develop a methodology for teaching Russian word order to Chinese students. A key element of such a methodology is taking into account the difficulties Chinese students experience in mastering this Russian language phenomenon. The aim of this article is to predict such difficulties. The study analysed the works of Chinese linguists dedicated to comparing word order in Russian and Chinese, and examined six Russian word order constructions identified by O. A. Krylova and S. A. Khavronina for their perception and assimilation by Chinese students. It was found that students may experience the greatest difficulties with the constructions SPK-2, SPK-5, and SPK-6, whose word order differs from that of their Chinese counterparts. The significance of this study lies in its potential as a starting point for developing diagnostic tools for further error detection and a basis for developing teaching methods.
