Abstract:
The aim of the study is to compare the oral speech of Soviet and Russian young people aged 13 to 23 years. The analysis was carried out according to a single indicator: the abundance of structurally incomplete statements in transcribed oral messages. Speech samples of both Soviet and modern Russian teenagers are taken from the media. As a result of the study, it was shown that Soviet schoolchildren and students used structurally incomplete statements in their oral speech 7 times less than modern youth. The study is a continuation of a more extensive comparison of the oral speech of schoolchildren and students of the Soviet and Russian eras, as well as speech role models that were broadcast by the Soviet and Russian media. The basis for the choice of research material was the non-trivial task of establishing the role of the influence of the modern media environment on the speech of adolescents. If Soviet schoolchildren and students consumed media content with the best linguistic role models for their time, then modern teenagers are formed in the free Internet environment. In the course of the study, a method was developed for objective comparison of the speech of different speakers. Text corpora were compared by the number of occasionalisms, author's syntagmas, phraseological units, professionalisms, clericalisms, vulgarisms, structurally incomplete statements, obscene vocabulary, etc. In a series of studies, it was shown that the speech samples of the Soviet era, that is, the Soviet group, are better both quantitatively and qualitatively than modern ones. The scientific novelty lies in the assessment of the oral speech of the speakers of information and entertainment media products of the media of one Russian-speaking country, but in different eras, although close in time, using a new complex method of linguistic analysis. The key factors that influenced the speech approaches of the creators of these media products were rapid social and technical changes.
