LINGUISTIC DIDACTIC CONSTRUCTION OF AN INTROSPECTIVE LEXICAL MINIMUM

Abstract

In the development of contemporary linguodidactology, two main research orientations can be observed: a fundamental and an applied one. The present study is empirical in nature and falls within the field of applied linguodidactology. It aims to determine experimentally a linguodidactological lexical minimum of basic French words that constitute the foundation of elementary communication in this Romance language. The research approach is based on the introspective method combined with a linguodidactological survey conducted among students majoring in French Philology who have chosen the pedagogical module as part of their professional qualification. The analysis is based on data from a working corpus comprising 400 lexical items, including nouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs, interrogative pronouns, and one interrogative expression. The results obtained may be used to update the French lexical minimum required for constructing elementary phrases corresponding to Level A1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. The introspective experimental lexical corpus developed in the study has the potential to be implemented at the initial stage of language teaching, as it covers the main lexical fields. From a grammatical perspective, the experimental working corpus enables the construction ofАПА texts illustrating facts and phenomena of elementary French grammar, as well as simple dialogues aimed at the systematic development of basic communicative competence.
