Abstract
Oleksandr Bogdan PLEONASM AND TAUTOLOGY AS TYPICAL ERRORS IN EIT PARTICIPANTS’ ESSAYS IN THE UKRAINIAN LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE Today all graduates of Secondary school are required to pass External Independent Knowledge Testing in the Ukrainian language and literature, since its results are taken into account as an assessment for the State final certification in this subject. One of the elements of testing in the Ukrainian language is writing an essay. The fact proves that the most common mistake in this kind of work is the unmotivated use of pleonasms and tautology. Thus, it follows the urgency and purpose of writing this article. The purpose of the article is to identify the peculiarities of such types of excesses in speech as pleonasm and tautology, the situations of relevance/irrelevance of their use, the definition of the reasons for their appearance in the essays of EIT participants and to find the ways of eliminating these speech excesses during the preparation for testing in classes at school and preparatory courses for applicants. The relevance of the article is that pleonasm and tautology are the most common lexical errors in the essays of EIT participants in the Ukrainian language and literature, so their elimination should become one of the priority for teachers of the Ukrainian language. There are several causes for the appearance of pleonasms and tautologies in the texts of essays. Firstly, it is a low level of Ukrainian literary speech in general and its lexical norms in particular. Secondly, it is the presence of a significant number of errors of this type in texts which students are accustomed to perceive as correct and referent (teachers, speakers, high officials, works of classics of Ukrainian literature). Thirdly, the reason is the speech inattention of the student and the lack of time for careful, thoughtful editing of the created text. Fourthly, it is poor vocabulary of school leavers, which does not allow them to avoid tautology with the help of synonyms, even when he notices it in the text. Fifthly, some expressions, although they are actually pleonasms and tautologies (real reality, private property), have become widely used and are already perceived as normative, but can be considered as a mistake by the examiners. In our opinion, the following actions can be the ways of eliminating this problem. In the lessons on the development of speech and language skills pay more attention to this type of mistakes, do not be lazy to correct them in the oral speech of students. Notice them in your speech, do not be afraid to correct them, accentuating the students’ attention to it. Develop special exercises (full of pleonasms and tautologies), which would allow students to improve language skills of avoiding tautologies and pleonasms. Create a so named bank of typical errors made by previous tested graduates. Thus, the study of the problem of the unmotivated usage of tautologies and pleonasms in speech in general and in the essays of EIT participants in the Ukrainian language and literature in particular allows us to make the following conclusions. 1. Pleonasm and tautology are stylistic figures, and their use is only due to the stylistic features of the text. In the texts of the art style they are desirable, since they can carry a certain ideological and aesthetic load. 2. Tautology is a kind of pleonasm, that is, one of the types of excesses in speech. The difference between these phenomena is that tautology is a repetition not only semantic, but also a sound one. 3. In the works of essays, where a certain coherence of texting is required, tautology and pleonasm are flaws, which the author should avoid. 4. The reasons for such drawback in speech are the low lexical level of the Ukrainian language and the poor vocabulary of EIT participants, a significant number of errors of this type in texts that are perceived as reference ones. 5. This type of lexical errors is the most common in the essays, and significantly affects the final result of testing. Therefore, in the training classes for EIT it is necessary to pay great attention to speech defects, mentioned above, using specially designed exercises to identify and eliminate them.
