Resumo
The article substantiates necessity of the proposals tiered analysis for foreign students for the purpose to detect denotative and significate components in content. The theory of speech activity (psycholinguistics) by A. Leontiev should be considered as a methodological basis of teaching Russian syntax for foreigners.In this article are related, on the one hand, the stages of speech production and, on the other hand, levels of proposals as remarks in Linguo-didactical language model in M. Vsevolodova’s concept. It is concluded that there is a complete correspondence between the Linguo-didactical description of sentence as a remark in functional-communicative grammar (M. Vsevolodova’s and others approach) and the Theory of Speech activity by A. Leontiev. Explanation syntactic semantics should be done not only “from the form” (specify the type of “follow the pattern”), but also taking into the denotative roles account, that is, the way from content.

Resumo
The paper examines globalization within the framework of translation. The paper maintain that with technological advancement in the world, translation acts perfectly as an agent to disseminate information to all the corners of the dynamically changing world.As an interconnectivity between cultures, languages, and businesses, information cannot be conveyed to these sectors of society only through one international lingua franca. Much as the influence of the English language in global communication network is evident, it maintains that translation makes it easier for many languages access the bulk of information that results from various interactions in society as a result of globalization. Translation resists globalization of the international lingua franca through the use of grammatical structures of the source language (SL) and the translated language (TL).It maintains that there are typological differences between languages manifested through its grammatical features.

IMPLICATION OF DIFFERENCES IN GENERAL FREQUENCY OF PERSONAL AND POSSESSIVE PRONOUNS IN RUSSIAN AND ENGLISH FICTION
Resumo
The scientific relevance of the paper is justified by the lack of known research on frequency and functioning of the Russian and English personal and possessive pronouns in authentic and translated fiction (from English into Russian). The paper deliberates on the differences in frequency named pronouns, by conducting a statistical analysis of British and American fiction with its high-quality Russian translations, along with original Russian fiction of the same period. By means of quantitative and correlation dependency analyses, the author assumes that ‘good’ Russian translations contain fewer personal and possessive pronouns than their English originals, while the figure correlates with the pronoun rate in original texts by Russian authors. The paper concludes with corroborating the proposed hypothesis and setting goals for future research based on the achievedresults, which will enable us to further examine frequency and functioning of the Russian and English personal and possessive pronouns and formulate recommendations for fiction translators, which might help them to avoid common mistakes and improve the overall quality of their translations.
