Abstract

The subject of the study is a Russian quotation from a literary text as part of the intertextual thesaurus of modern youth. The relevance of the study is due to the lack of research on the methodological potential of Russian quotation - a significant part of the national cultural code - in modern educational discourse. The aim of the study is to substantiate the methodological potential of the quotation and to determine the tasks for developing an intertextual thesaurus for Russian schoolchildren studying the Russian language and literature. The material for the study included: 1) interpretations and definitions from explanatory and terminological dictionaries and reference books; 2) monographs, dissertations and articles, Federal educational program, and lesson notes; 3) the results of a survey among students of the Faculty of Philology of Herzen State Pedagogical University of Russia, high school students, students of the State Institution of Extended Education Center “Intellect” for gifted schoolchildren from Leningrad region (414 respondents in total). Research methods were: 1) content analysis; 2) comprehensive and comparative analysis of scientific works; 3) pilot survey. As a result of a content analysis of the definition of “quotation”, the key characteristics of a quotation were highlighted and a definition of this concept in the educational and methodological aspect was given. Based on a comprehensive and comparative analysis of scientific articles and dissertations written over the past 20 years, the aspects of the study of quotations in various fields of humanities were identified. The analysis of the Federal programs on Russian language and literature for basic and general education and teachers’ notes showed that the educational, including nourishing potential of quotations, is not sufficiently used in the process of linguistic and literary development of schoolchildren. The pilot survey revealed that students have an insufficient level of knowledge and understanding of quotations from the school curriculum. The key idea of the study is the need to create a methodological system of working with quotations for developing a linguistic personality aware of the national verbal cultural code. The study defines the tasks relevant for an integral system of work and outlines further prospects for studying the problem.
