Predicates of the lexical-semantic group “disappearance, loss, death” in the «mirror» of the Chinese language

this article is devoted to the topic of teaching Russian in a foreign audience, namely in Chinese, at an advanced stage of learning. The need to analyze predicates of the declared type arose when discussing the topic "Natural disasters and catastrophes" in Russian language lessons in a group of master students-geographers of the first year of study. Such important topics as ecology, environmental care and the latter's reaction to human activity have led to the need to discuss these topics in Russian language classes with future geographers. The reality is that the anthropogenic factor affecting our nature and the world around us, unfortunately, in most cases causes death, loss, death, and sometimes the complete disappearance of some species of animals and plants, the destruction of landscapes and natural areas. Studying the texts of the listed topics, it turned out that the different shades of meanings expressed in the studied predicates in Russian have far from unambiguous equivalents in Chinese. And this led to the need to conduct a comparative analysis of certain language material with the Chinese language. It was important to find the areas of greatest discrepancy in the meanings of the linguistic material considered in this article in Russian and Chinese, conduct a detailed analysis of similarities and differences, predict possible difficulties and draw methodological conclusions about ways to overcome mistakes in this area, leaving for methodologists the task of determining the place, time and method of introducing this material during the educational process.
