[ColonelCassad] About how the law on the protection of the Russian language will work in terms of combating foreign words.
Languages grow organically as their speakers copy or invent new words to meet new needs. The French and Germans have been unsuccessfully fighting this for a century or more. It does keep the linguists and the dictionary writers too busy to engage in other, more harmful pursuits, but is otherwise pointless. | On December 13, the State Duma adopted in the first reading a bill on protecting the Russian language from the dominance of foreign words. The document assumes the inadmissibility of the use of foreign words, with the exception of those that do not have commonly used analogues in the Russian language, the list of which is contained in normative dictionaries.

Who will control compliance with the norms of the Russian language, in what areas will borrowings be punished, and what is the influence of other languages ​​on modern Russian? Margarita Rusetskaya, a member of the Russian Language Council under the President of the Russian Federation, a Moscow City Duma deputy, philologist Margarita Rusetskaya, spoke about this in an interview with the Public News Service. |
