Features: Contemporary Russian Language Theory is a foundational linguistic work that elaborates on the vocabulary, phonetics, word formation, morphology, and syntax systems of modern standard Russian. The content is designed to be concise and aligned with the language theory systems used in China's current major Russian language textbooks, selectively and cautiously reflecting new achievements in Russian language theoretical research. The purpose of this book is to help Russian language majors summarize and systematize the knowledge of Russian vocabulary, phonetics, word formation, and grammar acquired through practical courses in the foundational stage, elevating this knowledge to a certain theoretical level to bridge theory with practice and enhance the (consciousness) of learning in the advanced stage. It also aims to cultivate students' ability to analyze and solve various problems encountered during their studies by applying linguistic theoretical knowledge, enabling them to develop preliminary research skills in language-related issues. This book may also be used as a teaching material for postgraduate students in Russian language and literature programs, if deemed appropriate.
The Contemporary Russian Language Theory (first published in 1963 by Commercial Press, edited by Wang Chaocen, Huang Shunan, Xin Delin, et al.) has long been esteemed in the field of Russian language teaching in Chinese universities. It has been reprinted multiple times and remains popular among readers, even today, and has been designated as a reference book for postgraduate entrance examinations in Russian language and literature by some universities. This work is scientifically grounded, rigorously expressed, and accessible, providing a comprehensive and systematic reflection of the research status of Russian standard language at that time. However, more than four decades have passed since its first publication. Times are evolving, and science is advancing. With the continuous deepening of linguistic research, the theoretical system of Russian standard language has undergone significant changes during this period. Contemporary Russian Language Theory strives to maintain the scientific spirit and rigorous academic style of the Modern Russian Language Theory, while also seeking to reflect the contemporary state of Russian standard language theory.
