Teaching the students of foreign languages departments of universities to do a linguistic analysis of a text

the aim of this article is proving the necessity of teaching the students of foreign languages departments of Universities to do a linguistic analysis of the text. First it’s important to study the works of Soviet scientist I.R. Galperin. To do a linguistic analysis of the text he had a broader view on the grammar of a language and define the following grammatical categories of the text: information, coherence, cohesion, continuum, autosemanty of the parts of the text, retrospection and prospection, modality, integration and completion. V.I. Bortnikov had come to the conclusion that the linguistic analysis of the text had two ways: on various language levels (phonemic, morphemic, word level and so on) and by analyzing the categories of the text. By doing various types of the linguistic analysis of the text the students will develop a so-called “linguistic flair" for nonstandard expression of thoughts and ideas. It will lead to deep immersion into the structure of the text as a unit of a written variant of the speech and, as a resuilt, teaching Lingustics on a higher level.
