In the first place Korney Chukovsky known as the author of children's poems about Mojdodyra and flying chairs. But also the writer was a literary critic and advocated the preservation of the living, vibrant Russian language. On this issue the book "Live as life" (first published in 1962). has become a classic. About today and we'll talk.

Chapter one: "Old and new"

A Story about a famous lawyer and academician of Anatolian Horses opens the first Chapter "Live as life" (Chukovsky), a summary of which we now analyze. Anatoly Fedorovich was known as a man of very great goodness. But only until such time as awkward heard Russian speech. Then his anger knew no bounds, though often the source in fact was not guilty.

The fact is, at that time honorary academician was already old. He was born and grew up in the days when the word "necessarily" meant "kind, respectful". But it has acquired a different meaning over time and now means "certainly". Anyone who has used the word "necessarily" to mean "sure", immediately came under a storm of criticism.

About the changes of language, and about whether it was always this bad, about the "disease" of the Russian language and other tells in this book Korney Chukovsky.

Chapter two: "Imaginary illness and - true"

What can be considered a "disease of words"? The book "Live as life" (Chukovsky), a genre which can be defined as a cross between journalism and language study helps to understand this question.

Korney Chukovsky

Did You know that in the poems of Pushkin, the word "scrupulous" is quite unusual for us, the value is "fancy"? The word "family" is a familiar, first designated the slaves and servants, and the then - wife. Interesting "family tree" and the word "mess". First was the name of a very delicious dish of the seventeenth century, beloved nobles. Then the mess began to refer to acute abdominal pain caused by bad talker. Soldier cooks were thrown into the pot unpeeled fish in the sand, onion, breadcrumbs, sauerkraut, and all that was at hand. And then "mess" became familiar to all the meaning of "confusion, disorder".

This transformation is natural, and language is growing and evolving, and it is impossible to resist and even silly, according to the author.

Chapter three: "Strange words"

This Chapter is a logical continuation of the previous one. The book "Live as life" (Chukovsky), a summary of which we are discussing, would be complete without strange words. Korney Chukovsky wrote a lot of letters ordinary people who care about the preservation of the Russian language. Many believed that foreign words should be expelled as quickly as possible.

The Author gives examples of foreign words that have become Russian: algebra, alcohol, stocking, gang, rally, wheel, rails, naive, serious... "Is it possible to throw them out of the live Russian speech?" - asks Chukovsky. However, he is glad that many foreign words did not stick in use and supplanted the original Russian. For example, the once popular "mistycat" will never come to the language of the common man. Instead, we "eat Breakfast".

Chapter four: "Umslopogaas"

The Trendy word reduction also not able to spoil the Russian language. But in labour, "Live as life" (Chukovsky), the analysis of which we hold, to them a whole Chapter. And for good reason. It cuts to show how important moderation in all things. For example, such cuts as the Moscow art theatre, the savings Bank, the workday did not spoil the Russian language.

But the fashion for reduction created a lot of "monsters". Tverbul Pampush, in fact - Tversky Boulevard, monument to Pushkin. Massively reduced names - Peter p. into Ne PA for both students and fellow teachers. But worst of all was shrink-palindrome Rochestergentledent, Legislationupdate, Legalmaterials and others of this type.

With this you need to conclude, one of the main: all depends on the sense of style and proportionality.

Chapter five: "Vulgarisms"

Readers of the 1960-ies are often considered "obscene" words such as "clumsy", "pants", "stink", "bitch", "blow your nose" and many the like, which for modern man is completely natural. The author recalls an angry letter to your address for what was used the article the word "Champs".

It's another thing vulgar slang of today's youth, writes in "Live as life" Chukovsky. Outline of this Chapter is to ensure that such jargon as "Bullshit", "vandaele" (instead of "fell in love"), "dude", "katiska" (instead of "girl"), "lobuda", "Chikara" and so defile not only Russian language but also the concepts that denote them are young people.

The Author correctly notices that the guy who vandaele in codrescu feels far from those lofty sentiments of love described in the verses of Alexander Blok. The decomposition of language by bulgarini leads to moral decay, so the jargon follows zealously to eradicate.

Chapter six: "Office"

The book Korney Chukovsky "Live as life" gave its name to the only real "disease" of the Russian language - kantselyarita. This term is used by linguists inthe hostess Nora Gal in the book "the word of the living and the dead."

The Chancery is the language of bureaucracy, of official papers and offices. All these "above", "issued this certificate", "the specified period", "on the basis of this", "therefore", "for want of", "due to the lack of", "as" firmly taken its place in business documents (sometimes reaching the absurd).

book Korney Chukovsky

The Problem is that the office has penetrated into ordinary spoken language. Now, instead of "green forest" began to speak "woodland", the usual "quarrel" has become a "conflict," and so on. These figures of speech, izdelava borrowed securities, become a "litmus test". Believed that every cultured, well-educated person should have such words in his vocabulary.

To Say on the radio "there Were heavy rains" was considered rustic and uncultured. Instead, it was "Dropped heavy rainfall". Unfortunately, the problem kantselyarita not disappeared. Today this disease has strengthened its positions even more. No scientist can defend a thesis, written in simple, understandable language. In everyday life we constantly plug-in clerical phrase, without noticing it. So alive, strong, incresase Russian speaking becomes grey and dry. And this is the only disease of language, with which to fight.

Chapter seven: "Against the elements"

Many people perceive the Russian language as the element that cannot cope. Writes in a "Live as life" Chukovsky. A brief summary of the last, seventh Chapter is that in times when for each of the available knowledge, open regular and evening schools, no one has the right to be illiterate, do not respect their language.

Russian speaking

All the wrong words and turns of phrase should be eradicated, and the culture of the masses must rise, not fall. And just speaking is an indicator of growth or decline of culture.

Results

K. Chukovsky their study marked the beginning of a large discussion around the Russian language. He has not adhered to any one side, and had proceeded with carefully verified data and a sense of proportion. As K. Paustovsky, Korney Ivanovich was very fond of Russian language, so "Live as life" is still the book to mandatory reading for everyone - linguists, and those who want to fall in love with living, simple Russian speech.
