Gasimova I. – EXTENSION OF IMPERSONAL SIMPLE SENTENCES IN AZERBAIJANI AND FRENCH LANGUAGES

EXTENSION OF IMPERSONAL SIMPLE SENTENCES IN AZERBAIJANI AND FRENCH LANGUAGES

Gasimova I.
Senior teacher of “Roman-German languages”
Nakhchivan State University, Azerbaijan

Abstract
The article mainly deals with the extension forms of personal simple sentences in Azerbaijani and French languages. A speaker of both languages can present his/her opinion by means of unextended or extended, complete or incomplete, indefinite personal or general personal, impersonal or nominal sentences. In the mentioned languages, there are also facts of extension of the impersonal simple sentence, and this process appears in all types of impersonal sentences. It undergoes extension in an impersonal sentence consisting of only one word. In the extension of sentences whose predicate is expressed by the impersonal form of the verb, the main burden falls on secondary members. In French, verbs that are used only in the third person singular and sometimes with the pronoun ‘ce’ are called impersonal verbs. ‘Il’ or ‘ce’ is used as a grammatical sign, i.e. formally, and does not represent any person or thing. Complements of this type are often used after transitive verbs. However, complements of impersonal verbs are also found after intransitive verbs. The extension of impersonal verbs is expressed by pronoun, quantity, infinitive, substantive word and noun.

Keywords: extension, simple sentence, extended sentence, complex sentence, unextended

Abstract
This research article presents a comparative study of the semantic sphere related to the “Moon,” a significant thematic element within the paremiology, terminology, and onomastics of the Russian and Azerbaijani languages. The examination of cosmonyms, which constitute a distinctive stratum in the lexicon of these languages and are intertwined with the worldviews and mythological narratives of their respective peoples, offers a comprehensive perspective on the historical, cultural, and psychological aspects of both the Russian and Azerbaijani societies. The idiosyncrasies and ethnic-psychological characteristics of these two populations come to the fore within the microspheres of cosmonyms, with the “Moon” cosmonym serving as an illustrative point of convergence.

Abstract
This article presents a comparative analysis of French language teaching methods in higher education, emphasizing the critical importance of French as a language of culture, international communication, and diplomacy. By examining both traditional methods and modern, interactive approaches, this study aims to identify the most effective pedagogical strategies to meet the diverse needs of students. Traditional methods, characterized by lecture-based teaching and a focus on grammar and translation, are evaluated for their structure and rigor but criticized for their lack of interactive engagement and resistance to change. Conversely, modern methods such as interactive learning, the use of multimedia, immersion programs, and the action-oriented approach are explored for their potential to create a dynamic learning environment and promote the practical use of the language. The article relies on case studies and empirical research to assess the impact of these methods on student engagement and proficiency in French, leading to recommendations for educators and higher education institutions.

Keywords: French language teaching, traditional methods, modern methods, student engagement, language proficiency, higher education, pedagogical approaches.

EVOLVING VOCABULARY: BRIDGING COLLOQUIAL AND STANDARD ENGLISH IN COMMUNICATION

Alisoy H.
Nakhchivan State University lecturer

Abstract
The article explores the intricate evolution of vocabulary transitioning from colloquial to standard registers, emphasizing the consequential impact on communication and pedagogical strategies. Stemming from a lecture at Nakhchivan State University, the discussion extends to the interactive methodologies employed to delve into the dynamics of evolving vocabulary, enhancing learners’ engagement and communicative competence. Through the lens of stylistic functions and the interaction of different vocabulary strata—literary, neutral, and colloquial—the article illuminates the stylistic collisions showcased across various mediums like advertisements, literature, political speeches, and educational materials. These stylistic juxtapositions, often leveraging literary techniques such as irony and satire, serve to enrich communicative narratives, emphasizing contrasts, and exploring complex themes. Furthermore, the discussion navigates the implications of vocabulary choices in both written and spoken communication, underlining the significance of context in vocabulary usage. The contrasting formalities between written and spoken language, and the adaptability of vocabulary reflective of societal and technological trends, are dissected to underscore the nuanced linguistic landscape. The discourse encapsulates the educational implications, advocating for the integration of evolving vocabulary in curriculum design to foster enhanced linguistic awareness, cultural relevance, and adaptability among learners. This comprehensive examination of vocabulary evolution, stylistic interactions, and contextual variances furnishes a rich understanding beneficial for educators, students, and individuals keen on mastering effective communication.
