1. Introduction
Currently in
linguistic science has increased interest in the study of the paradigmatic and
syntagmatic connections of words in the structure of the language competence of
students of Kazakh, Russian and English languages.
A comparative
study of linguistic units associated with the paradigmatic and syntagmatic
relations of words in different languages is increasing every
year and is becoming increasingly important.
Development of
general theoretical problems paradigmatic and syntagmatic connections of words
associated with basic research Kazakh, Russian and foreign scientists, as A.

Development of
science and technology has caused a great need for information exchange.
Increased volume of international trade, diplomacy, expanded cultural ties
between the countries. All these changes have caused unprecedented still need
knowledge of several languages (Kazakh, Russian, English),
translations and translators, prompting the need to study the Kazakh, Russian
and English languages, which requires a detailed and comprehensive study of the
paradigmatic and syntagmatic connections of words.
The relevance of
the study determined the importance of the comparative study of languages of
various types, such as Kazakh, Russian and English languages, the need for
systematic description of the paradigmatic and syntagmatic connections of words
in the effective assimilation of language - the Kazakh, Russian and English.
The relevance of
the study is due to the long overdue and need to mindfulness universal
assimilation of Kazakh, Russian and English languages in the
Republic of Kazakhstan, which will facilitate the accession of Kazakhstan to
the highly developed countries of the world community.
The purpose of
research - is a comprehensive analysis of the paradigmatic and syntagmatic
connections of words in the structure of the language competence of the
students learning Kazakh, Russian and English languages.
In accordance
with the purpose of the following tasks:
1. The definition of "paradigmatic and syntagmatic connections of
words in the structure of language competence."
2. Writing a detailed interpretation of the concept of "linguistic
competence."
3. To carry out systematic study of the process of functioning of
syntagmatic and paradigmatic relations of words in learning Kazakh, Russian and
English with the help of free association experiment.
4. Determine the specificity and the role of syntagmatic and paradigmatic
relations of words when learning Kazakh, Russian and English languages.
Objects of study
are paradigmatic and syntagmatic connections of words in the structure of
language competence learning Kazakh, Russian and English languages.
The subject of
this study is to linguistic competence and features of the formation of the
paradigmatic and syntagmatic connections of words in the structure of the
language competence of students of Kazakh, Russian and English languages in
the experimental analysis.
At the heart of
the structural organization of the language are syntagmatic and paradigmatic
relations of its elements. These relations are interpreted as a combination of
laws and the laws of alternation, the efforts of linguists clearly demonstrated
on the phonological material. It is known that "not only sounds - all
units of language are subject to two types of laws: they alternate regularly
and naturally blended. These laws are basically the same type for the whole
language, only in morphology and syntax, word formation and vocabulary they are
often more complex than in phonetics "[1, p.3]. The hardest thing these
laws are presented in the lexicon, which explains the practical infinity of
lexical weight, as well as the fact that the word is extremely difficult to
overlap two systems: lexical and semantic, resulting in lexical relations do
not show through as clear as phonological.
The fact that the
words are connected syntagmatic and paradigmatic relations, was marked by
Ferdinand de Saussure, the founder of the doctrine of the paradigmatic and
syntagmatics. He wrote: "On the one hand, the words in question,
connecting with each other, come to one another in a relationship based on the
linear nature of language, which excludes the possibility of pronouncing two
elements at the same time ... These elements are built one after another in the
flow of speech. These combinations having a length may be called syntagmas ...
[2].
On the other
hand, is the process of speech for a word having interconnected anything to be
associated in memory so that they form groups which are found in very varied
ratio. So, the word enseignement "training" involuntarily conjures a
host of other words (e.g., enseigner "train", renseigner "again
to teach" and others. Or armament "arms", changement
"change" and others. Or education "education", appentissage
"teaching" and others) that one or another feature similar to one
another.
It is easy to see
that these relations have a completely different character ... They are not
based on the length, localized in the brain and belong to the stored in the
memory of each individual's treasure, which is the language. These
relationships will be called associative relations "[2, ð.155-156]. Later, freed from the psychology of Ferdinand de Saussure,
linguists have replaced the term associative relationship to the term
paradigmatic relations. More important for the system description language is
to identify two basic relations between linguistic units:
- Paradigmatic,
- Syntagmatic relations.
There are several
types of competencies: communicative competence, speech competence, language
competence. Let's consider each separately. Communicative competence is
regarded as a satisfactory degree of mastery of certain norms of communication,
behavior, as a result of learning. Communicative competence - is the
assimilation of ethnic and socio - psychological standards, the standards of
behavior that mastery of "technique" of communication. In so-called
communicative approach provides in addition to mastering the knowledge of the
language of practical mastery of technique of communication, the rules of
politeness, and norms of behavior.
Speech competence
- is the linguistic system in action, the use of a limited number of linguistic
resources, patterns of their operation to construct sentences from the simplest
expression of feelings to transmit the nuances of intelligent information [3, ð.144].
Language
competence is understood as the capacity of linguistic (linguistic) human
knowledge, a set of rules of analysis and synthesis units of language, allowing
building and analyzing proposals to use the system language for communication
purposes. The content of language competence - is mastering the language of
categories and units and their functions, understanding laws and rules of
functioning of the language.
I.A. Zimnyaya
understands the language as a means and speech as a way of forming and
formulating thoughts through language in the course of activity [4, ð.102].
Language competence, we consider as a result
of learning, achievement, of course assuming that the same level of achievement
can be involved different sets of abilities. High productivity in a foreign
language-speech activity can show people with different types of abilities.
The founder of modern linguistics was
Ferdinand de Saussure. We quote his remarks about language and linguistics:
"Linguistics - the science semiological. The language must be studied in
himself and for himself. Linguistics - the science is not natural and
historical. Linguistics - a section of social psychology. Foreign Linguistics:
the ratio of dialects and non-dialects boundaries of languages, the history of
the development of society through the language, etc. Sounds matter - same
here”[4, p.4].
Syntagmatic
or/and (syntagmatic) relations in lexicon (Greek. Sintagma - something
connected) are implemented in the possibility of compatibility, or valence of
the word. Words are come into the relation (connection) with each other based
on semantic and syntactic properties, based on the rules of their compatibility
with each other (valence), in the context of use. Valency - one of the main
features of word-is the potential (ability) combined words (connected) to each
other.
Compatibility of
the word - it is a specific compatibility of certain words in grammatical forms
and syntactic structures and certain words (lexical-semantic variants). Words
come in combination with each other based on their semantic and grammatical
properties, so compatibility (valence) and is divided into lexical and
grammatical (syntactic). Terms of word based on their semantic properties are
called lexical combinability (valence). Terms of word based on their
grammatical properties, called grammatical combinability (valence). In
relationship lexical compatibility enter words, if between the realities of
what they call, there is a logical adjacency relationships (subject-logical and
associative links) “Mektep-oku (mektepte oku)” house - build (build a house)
chair - sit (sit on the couch), a knife - to cut (cut with a knife), wind -
blow (wind) school- to study [9].
The term
"language competence" has been introduced by N. Chomsky about the
middle of the XX century and semantically opposed to the term "use of
language." Difference of the values of these terms is
revealed as a difference between knowing "speaker-listener" on
language and the use of language in the practice of communication and human
activities. In an effort to remain within the strictly linguistic research, N.
Chomsky tried to ignore the real speech acts and repeatedly emphasized that he
had in mind the "ideal speaker-listener", i.e. abstractly conceivable
native speaker. Real as a native speaker, with all its peculiarities of speech
he described the object is not a linguistic and psychological, sociological,
didactic studies [6, ð.107].
By the end of 60s
or/and early 70-ies. N. Chomsky followers begin to understand by these terms
"language ability," i.e., potential knowledge of the language and the
language of its real media, and the "linguistic activity", i.e. the real
question in the real world. The contents of these concepts clearly formulated
D. Slobyn, pointing to the difference "between what a person is
theoretically capable of speaking and understanding, and the fact that he
actually speaks and understands in concrete situations" [7, p.23].
Thus, for a short
time during the development of the idea was a "shift" in the
direction of so-called human factor. This exacerbated the problem of the origin
and development of language competence. By N. Chomsky, it is based on innate knowledge
of basic linguistic categories (universals) and the child's ability to
"design for a grammar" - the rules describe proposals perceived in
the language environment. This knowledge is empirical in nature and function as
a linguistic intuition ("internal representations" of the language)
and the language of introspection speakers. As for language ability, it is
recognized education, having a double - natural and social - conditioning [8].
Changing the
content of the concept is leading to the expansion of empirical studies on the
genesis of an early pre-speech and speech of behavior of children. In foreign
science such research is carried out for a long time [13].
Deny the
importance of the ideas of N. Chomsky for the development not only of linguistic
science, but also psychologically impossible, so many overseas studies rely on
them. However, his concept of flow caused methodological criticism, which leads
to the conclusion that the concept of linguistic competence and deployed based
on this model for this phenomenon, having a number of advantages, it is hardly
adequate psycholinguistic, psycho-pedagogical, lingvo-methodical studies [6,
p.11].
2. Materials and methods
Development of
the association experiment associated with the name of the Swiss psychologist -
Carl Gustav Jung, who in 1906-1913 worked with Sigmund Freud and created his
own analytical psychology. As a result of a long-term clinical studies have
come to the conclusion that in the human psyche plays an important role, not
only individually, but also the collective unconscious, the content of which is
represented by the archetypes, inherited from ancestors. Central place is the
archetype of the self. Proposed to the typology of characters on a basis of two
criteria such as installation orientation (extraversion - introversion) and
dominant function (thinking, feeling, sensation or intuition) causes and
develops the method of associative experiment. Think that word in the lexicon
of the person, being the result of human interaction with the outside world,
expresses much more than can be found in the study of abstract lexical-semantic
system of the language, i.e. without departing from the scope of linguistics
[6, p. 52].
The word -
expresses the human experience in its interaction with the objective world, as
a human cognitive process. On the basis of this statement, we consider it
necessary to examine the organization of units of the lexicon, namely
syntagmatic and paradigmatic word association in the structure of language
competence in terms of the psychological processes of memory and thinking. It
is known that in human memory stores information about the structure of our
knowledge and its organization [6, p. 93].
Memory is not
only remembers and stores information, but also converts the received
information. The study of vocabulary in terms of thought processes is the
subject of the study of psycholinguistics, which "can be regarded as a
linguistic discipline, as she learns the language, and the discipline of
psychology, as it learns the language as a phenomenon of the mind" [7,
p.6]. Prominent scientist L.V. Sakharov identifies three basic principles
underlying the science of psycholinguistics, chief among which is the human
factor [7, p.88].
It is known that
the factor of a particular person with a real memory, age feature, personal
experiences, goals, etc., determines the nature of not only speech, but also
the language [24]. Factor of the speaker or hearer human entails the emergence
of a specific situation in which the communication takes place [7]. The third
important factor, after human factor and the factor of the situation,
determining the specifics of psycholinguistic approach to structuring
vocabulary is - factor experiment [7]. Psycholinguistics - experimental
science, while traditional linguistics is based on the "method of
observation" exploring "ready" text [7]. For Psycholinguistics
main language is not a distraction from the man, and the man and his speech
activity [7].
Scientist de Saussure believed that
associative links can occur only within the ranks of words related
paradigmatically [4, p.78]. Later it turned out that "semantics of the
word is determined by the totality of its paradigmatic and syntagmatic
relations" [8, p. 43].Paradigmatic relations exist in the language, while
syntagmatic relations are realized in speech [7, p.47].
Syntagmatic
relations are syntactic patterns of speech activity. Word - a stimulus enters
into syntactic relations with the word - a reaction to form a phrase or
grammatical basis of the proposal [7, p. 33]. Syntagmatic associations can be
divided into categories of parts of speech: noun-adjective; noun-verb, for
example, a friend - to meet; a friend - true [22, p.93]. Associative fields are
types of fields studied in the framework of psycholinguistics and psychology,
which "is characterized by the union around the word - the stimulus of
certain groups of words - associates" [7, p. 381]. In the fields of
associative words of similar meaning are grouped together [7, p. 34]. Associative
field of each person and the names on their composition and strength are tied
up among themselves. [7, p. 93].
It is our belief
parameter level of knowledge and language learning can be introduced for the
study of semantic and grammatical level of language ability of the individual
to identify the features of syntagmatic and paradigmatic relations of words.
As part of our
research in a free A.E 510 subjects participated: students 1, 2, 3 and 4
courses of philological faculties studying Kazakh language - 186 people,
students of first, second, third and fourth years of philological faculties
studying Russian - English 162 and languages - 160 people. In the
task subjects were asked to write the first who came to their minds the words
on the word-stimuli: in Kazakh "kitap, oku, akyldy”, in Russian “teacher,
foreign language, to read", in English “a student, to study, clever”.
As explained
above for a more detailed study of the nature and properties of syntagmatic and
paradigmatic relations of word associations obtained by the experimenter from
the subjects during the experiment, we had done a free A E on word-stimulus:
kitap, oku, akyldy, teacher, foreign language, reading, a student, to study,
clever.
These incentives
comprehensive study of the association experiment were chosen for several
reasons:
-Words-incentives
- must relate to different parts of speech
-Words-incentives
- belong to different types of languages - Kazakh, Russian and
English. There are parallels in other Indo-European languages, which makes it
possible to conduct comparative studies.
-data words refer
to the area of the neutral common lexicon that allows us to study
its lexical-semantic relations in all areas and styles of the national
language, i.e. nationwide words, incentives should be evaluative element in its
meaning (akyldy, znayushy, clever).
Words -
incentives have been selected on the basis of the stimulus material used for
the study of associations’ informants learning Kazakh, Russian and English
languages.
This choice was
due to the comparative nature of the study.
The response time
was limited to 3 minutes; the number of responses was not limited. The result
obtained was 1438 response reactions, vol. i.e. averaging about 9 per test
reactions. Various reactions, including different forms of the word, were given
515 average coefficients of diversity (Cr) responses reactions AE - 0.39. The
basic data on the results of the experiment are shown in the table number 1.
Given the
state of the theoretical problems of dichotomy in the speech behavior of
individuals, language learners and data from a number of empirical studies put
forward the following hypothesis:
- The level of linguistic identity, industrial use types understanding the
native language determines the readiness of the language person in a foreign
language.
- Secondary language personality a person who owns a foreign language, is
formed under the influence of the primary language of the person, formed their
own language rights.
Based on the
above successful and approved by the outstanding scientist K. Toyma: "The
Association is a language in its “pre-speech readiness”, revealing the hidden,
hidden from direct observation method of “the content of the language” in the
memory of the vehicle, opening the mysterious veil over how to construct the
human language faculty” [8, p.15].
1-The procedure for the association
experiment
Selected group of
subjects read aloud a specific word, and the task was to write down the first
word which comes after you hear the word spoken, brought against you. As a
result we are recorded the reaction time as well. Each informant brought
against only one word from the list to exclude the influence of the semantics
of words and other "clean", so the result, that is, each informant was
obtained single reaction.
2- Analysis and processing of the results of the experiment consists of
several stages:
The first stage
of treatment included a selection of responses to each stimulus protocol of
experiments on the frequency, on the one hand, and on the distribution of
responses by type of the target language - Kazakh, Russian and English
languages by level of education (syntagmatic and paradigmatic
word association).
Next
short-changing reactions were conducted to a certain frequency and functional
criteria. For each stimulus word was formed by two arrays (entries), ranked as
follows:
- Decreasing
frequency (from the words with the highest frequency of occurrence to the words
with a single occurrence);
-
Reaction, forming a group of words or a sentence.
According to L.V.
Saharnyi, the problem of classification of associations is one of the most
problematic in association studies [8]. Such classifications as psychological,
linguistic, logical are widely used and known in psychology.
However, the
problem of the distribution of associations for some a consistent base is
closely related to the problem of determining the nature of the associative
connection.
Traditionally
the most common classification of psycho-linguistics associations of
“paradigmatic” (if the stimulus and response are in paradigmatic relations,
such as "chair-stool") and “syntagmatic” (if they are in syntagmatic
relations - "chair-stands, a chair-green") are investigated.
Stimulus and
response in the paradigmatic associations may be related to the coordination
(if they are on the same level of abstraction "chair-stool"), the
chain of command (from the "kind" to the "mind": fruit -
apple) or (from the "form" to the "old ": chair-friend) and
antonyms (friend-enemy).
Syntagmatic
relations can be divided into categories: (noun - verb, noun - adjective).
3. Results
Classification of
paradigmatic and syntagmatic accessories based on stimulus and response to one
or different parts of speech and gives a lot to solve the problem of the nature
of the associative connection.
There are words -
incentives that are sufficiently ordered associative field, consistently
causing some stereotypical responses, there are fields "generated by"
other incentives with heterogeneous and chaotic structure.
Based on the
foregoing, we had taken the next step of the study. All reactions were ordered
by the absolute frequency of occurrence, and then distributed to the individual
reactions (paradigmatic relation of words) and word combinations and sentences
(syntagmatic connections of words).
For the analysis
of the actual associative field used slightly modified, taking into account the
task before us, Luria technique, which is presented as follows:
-
failures in different forms (silent
response);
-
reaction not related semantically
with the stimulus (extra-signal reaction Luria);
-
reaction with the paradigmatic
relationship of words;
-
reaction with syntagmatic
connections of words [9, p.65].
The most interesting
for our study of the reaction in which there is a close connection between
stimulus and response. The classification of this type of reaction differs from
that of A.R. Luria. We have identified the reaction, followed by the words to a
single structure. We called them “reactions deployment”, for example: “manerlep
soyleu”, “speak concisely” represented first-year students studying Kazakh as a
second language.
After examining
the two approaches to the organization of vocabulary (traditional and psycholinguistic),
we can draw the following conclusions:
- We agree with the N. Chomsky that in the structure of language competence are
innate knowledge of basic linguistic categories (universals) and an
individual's ability to “construct for themselves grammar” - the rules describe
proposals perceived in the language environment. This knowledge is empirical in
nature and function as a linguistic intuition (“internal representations” of
the language) and the language of introspection speakers.
- Secondary linguistic identity from a man who owns a foreign language, is
formed under the influence of the primary language of the person, formed their
own language rights.
- Secondary linguistic identity is a set of abilities to the foreign language communication
intercultural level and assuming adequate interaction with other cultures.
- Secondary language personality consists of mastery of verbal and semantic
code language being studied, i.e., “the language picture of the world” native
speakers and “global” (conceptual) view of the world, allowing a person to
understand the new social reality for him. - Development of the student's
secondary features of the language of the person, making him able to be an
effective participant in cross-cultural communication, and there is actually a
strategic goal of foreign language teaching.
