I am sure many of our readers would enjoy listening to shows dedicated to the Russian language. I have listed a few program(me)s that touch upon the challenges in the language that even native or advanced speakers struggle with.<\/p>\n

This is a\u00a0show about the Russian language<\/a> on the “\u042d\u0445\u043e \u041c\u043e\u0441\u043a\u0432\u044b” (“Moscow Echo”) radio station. The hosts talk about trends and issues in contemporary Russian and ask listeners trivia questions for a chance to win a book.<\/p>\n

This episode<\/a> looks at the changing speech etiquette in Russian. The linguist Maksim Krongauz (\u041c\u0430\u043a\u0441\u0438<\/span>\u043c \u041a\u0440\u043e\u043d\u0433\u0430<\/span>\u0443\u0437) touches upon such recent changes as the drop of patronymics (\u043e<\/span>\u0442\u0447\u0435\u0441\u0442\u0432\u0430) when addressing strangers in formal situations, changes to greetings and farewells, and new patterns of politeness. One example he gives is thanking someone in advance when that person does not really have a choice, for example, when your boss asks you to do something. Krongauz calls it<\/p>\n

This episode<\/a> is interesting in that it features a native Russian speaker who replaces the sounds \u0448 and \u0436 with \u0444 and \u0432, respectively; and a second-language Russian speaker. The expert, Professor Galina Yakusheva (\u0413\u0430\u043b\u0438<\/span>\u043d\u0430 \u0412\u0438<\/span>\u043a\u0442\u043e\u0440\u043e\u0432\u043d\u0430 \u042f<\/span>\u043a\u0443\u0448\u0435\u0432\u0430) talks about the gender of the word \u043a\u043e\u0444\u0435, which has been “expanded” to allow for neuter colloquially, along with the established masculine. Further, she touches upon Russian spelling reforms, swearing in Russian, and the postmodernist\u00a0author Victor Pelevin<\/a> (\u0412\u0438<\/span>\u043a\u0442\u043e\u0440 \u041f\u0435\u043b\u0435<\/span>\u0432\u0438\u043d).<\/p>\n

“\u041a\u0430\u043a \u044d<\/span>\u0442\u043e \u043f\u043e-\u0440\u0443<\/span>\u0441\u0441\u043a\u0438?” (\u0420\u0430\u0434\u0438\u043e \u0420\u043e\u0441\u0441\u0438\u0438)<\/h1>\n

This show<\/a> covers tricky aspects of the Russian language. Callers consult two professors of Russian, Mikhail Dymarsky (\u041c\u0438\u0445\u0430\u0438<\/span>\u043b \u042f<\/span>\u043a\u043e\u0432\u043b\u0435\u0432\u0438\u0447 \u0414\u044b\u043c\u0430<\/span>\u0440\u0441\u043a\u0438\u0439) and Valery Yefremov (\u0412\u0430\u043b\u0435<\/span>\u0440\u0438\u0439 \u0410\u043d\u0430\u0442\u043e<\/span>\u043b\u044c\u0435\u0432\u0438\u0447 \u0415\u0444\u0440\u0435<\/span>\u043c\u043e\u0432), about their doubts and ambiguities in Russian.<\/p>\n

In the latest episode<\/a> at the time of writing, starting from 04:45, the experts answer a caller’s question about the use of the loanword\u00a0\u0440\u0435\u0441\u0435<\/span>\u043f\u0448\u0435\u043d <\/em>(“reception”)\u00a0to talk about a hotel\/office building front desk. The experts agree that “\u0440\u0435\u0441\u0435\u043f\u0448\u0435\u043d” sounds awkward and may be hard to pronounce for speakers of Russian. At the same time, in their opinion, a potential Russian equivalent, \u0441\u0442\u043e<\/span>\u0439\u043a\u0430 \u0430\u0434\u043c\u0438\u043d\u0438\u0441\u0442\u0440\u0430<\/span>\u0442\u043e\u0440\u0430, evokes the wrong associations of poor, Soviet-era customer service.<\/p>\n
