Selected for checking unstressed vowels. Spelling vowels

Tested unstressed vowels

Unstressed vowels cause difficulties in spelling because they are not pronounced clearly, but are indicated by the same letters as the stressed sounds. Often this results in a discrepancy between the pronunciation of the word and its representation in writing. For example, we say [gълΛва], [мълΛд’еош], but it’s written GO catch, mO lO dezh.

To avoid making spelling mistakes in such cases, you need to check the dubious vowel.

Methods for checking unstressed vowels

1. Change the form of the word:

a) number of a noun mountain mountains, river rivers, wall walls, clock hour;

b) noun case: water water, fields field, spring springs;

c) gender of past tense verbs: took took, led, led;

d) verb tense: fought fights, showed will show, bears.

2. Form the short form of the adjective: gray gray, green green.

3. Choose a non-derivative stem of the same part of speech: Colonel Regiment

4. Choose a cognate word from another part of speech: untranslatable translation, move away, irreconcilable peace, reunification united.

Notes. 1. Exceptions are words with alternating vowels in the root ( dawn dawn) and verbal roots with O, which cannot be verified by imperfective forms for -ivate: speak persuade, be late be late.

2. In some words of foreign origin, the spelling of an unstressed vowel cannot be checked with a word of the same root if the vowel being checked or verified is part of suffixes of different origins. For example: subscribere cop,(-ment goes back to the French suffix), although subscribe(-edit goes back to the German suffix), engagemente cop, Although engagementAnd to tear; accompanimente cop, Although accompanimentAnd to sleep Compare also as part of a foreign root: disinfectantAnd to sleep, Although disinfectione ction. The same vowel is retained in words aboute ction aboute quote and some others, since here the vowel is part of the root.

3. The correct spelling of the tested unstressed vowels is necessary to distinguish between words that sound the same in oral speech: dedicatede tit(lantern) dedicatedI tit(life science); approx.e swear(dress) approx.And swear(quarrelsome friends); developmente varies(flag) developmentAnd varies(industry); disp.e wat(songs) disp.And wat(tea); Withe children(become gray) WithAnd children(on the couch); mindA lie(to reduce the value of something) mindO lie(beg).

The wrong choice of a test word causes errors in understanding and writing words. For example, the word dO Lina has a common root with the word dO l, A Not dA l, verb blessedO twist formed from the combination “good word”, and not “good glory”. Misinterpretation of such words distorts their spelling.

Unchecked unstressed vowels

There are many words in the Russian language with unstressed vowels that cannot be checked by selecting other word forms and related words with stress on the dubious vowel. The spelling of such words is checked using a spelling dictionary.

Words with unverified unstressed vowels include, for example, the following: balalaika, glass, cow, cabbage, concrete, ventilation, lobby, ham, vinaigrette, intelligentsia, periphery, plasticine, privilege, scholarship, elixir, overpass and etc.

As can be seen from the examples, many words with unverified unstressed vowels are borrowed from European languages. The spelling of vowels in such words is based on tradition.

Vowel alternation in the root

Some roots have alternating vowels a o, e and, For example: dawn dawn, die die.

Alternation a o

1. In the roots gar-gor- o (zagA r zagO mature).

2. At the root zar-zor- a (hA roar, sA rnitsa, ozA ryO rka).

3. At the root kas-kos(n) is written O, if followed by a consonant n, and in other cases it is written a (kO dream ToA sit down).

4. At the root clan- clone- under stress is written the vowel that is heard, without stress o (sklO thread clA bow, bowO nklO thread).

5. At the root lag- false before G is written A, before and is written o (sentence)A to offerO live)Exception:canopy.

6. Root poppy- written in verbs meaning “to immerse in liquid” (mA roll the brush into the paint); root mok- written in verbs meaning “to pass liquid: you mO whip in the rain, impenetrableO stone cloak).

7. Fundamentally floating vowel can be stressed or unstressed (float, buoyancy); root pilaf- written in words plO vec, plO sneeze.

8. Root equal- written in words meaning “equal, identical, on a par” (compare, equal); root exactly written in words meaning “even, straight, smooth” (level).Exception:plain.

9. At the root growth grew- is written A before combination cm and letter sch, in other cases it is written o (grow, increase grown, thickets, overgrowth).Exceptions:industry(although no cm);Rostov, Rostok, Rostislav(although there is cm).

10. At the root skok-skoch- before To is written A, before h is written o (jump jump).

11. At the root creature- creative under stress it is written a, without accent o (creature creativity, create).Exception:utensil.

Note. When forming aspect pairs of some verbs, there is an alternation of sounds in the root O - a: be late(perfective verb) be late(imperfective verb), prick, prick, assimilate, assimilate.

Sometimes in modern Russian the following variants are used in parallel: condition condition, concentrate concentrate, empower empower. Writing such verbs does not cause any difficulties, since the vowel sound is stressed. It should be kept in mind that forms with O inherent in the bookish style of speech, forms with A colloquial, for some couples the form is O outdated (challenge outdated, dispute commonly used Wed: ...And don’t argue with a fool. P.)

Alternationee

In the roots ber-ber-, per-pir-, der- dir-, ter- ter-, mer- world-, burn-zhig-, stel- steel-, bleat- blest-, even- cheat is written And, if the root is followed by a suffix - A, in other cases it is written e (I'm going to collect, lock lock up, get away, get away, wipe, wipe, freeze, burn out burn out, spread out, defect subtract).Exceptions:combination, combine, couple(from root even-).

It is necessary to distinguish words with roots measure- world-, in which there is an alternation of vowels, from words with roots measure- world-, verifiable stress. Always written And in words with the same root as the word peace: reconciliation, world. Always written e in words with the same root as the verb measure: measuring, trying on, measuring.

Alternationa(i) im, a(i) in

In the roots with the indicated alternation they write them And in, if followed by a suffix -a (shake shake, understand understand, begin begin, begin, begin). We write remind, attentive. Retained in derivative forms them, even if the suffix is ​​not followed - A, For example: I'll pick it up, take it off, pick it up, take it off.

VowelsO her) after sibilant consonantsf, h, w, sch

In Russian orthography, spelling of stressed vowels causes particular difficulties O her) after hissing sounds f, h, w, sch. This is explained by the fact that in some cases we apply the morphological principle of spelling, that is, we maintain the same spelling of the roots of related words (for example: whisper whisper) although a whisper can be heard), and in other cases we use phonetic spellings, that is, we both hear and write (for example: ok, with a knife, river).

I. Vowels about her) after the hissing ones f, h, w, sch at the root of the word.

After sibilants under stress, it is written in the root her), although it is pronounced [o] if it is written in related words or in another form of the same word e (yellow turn yellow, silk silk). Therefore we write:

1) evening, hard, test, liver, hairstyle, comb, study, black, devil, dash, callous, cheap, grille, whisper, crack(from the gap), brush(from stubble);

2) gooseberry, major, seam, shock, rustle, thicket, glutton.

Notes. 1. It is necessary to distinguish between the spelling of nouns burn, arson and verbs burned, set fire (The people putting out the fire got burns. I burned my hand).

2. In words of foreign origin it is possible to write O after sibilants in an unstressed syllable: jockey, juggler, shock, chocolate, highway, Scottish, chauffeur.

3.IN In proper names, the spelling o after sibilants occurs both under stress and in unstressed syllables, for example: Joliot-Curie, Georges, Pechora, Pechorin, Sholokhov, Shchors, Giovanni, Jonathan, Giordano, Chopin, Schopenhauer, Shostakovich, Shota.

II. Vowels about her) after the hissing ones f, h, w, sch in endings and suffixes.

1. After sibilants, under stress it is written O, according to pronunciation, in the following cases:

1) at the endings of nouns, for example: ball, knife, page, rack, paralysis, hut, boundary, candle(cf. unstressed endings: landscape, prestige, crying, vegetable, barge, cloud, burden, food);

2) at the endings of adjectives, for example: alien, big(cf. unstressed endings: red, good);

3) in suffixes of nouns: -ok (owe, badge, strap), -onok (little camel, little chick, little frog);

4) in suffixes of adjectives: -ov (walrus, reed), -on(with fluent O; funny);

5) at the end (in suffixes) of adverbs, for example: hot, fresh, general, naked.

2. After sibilants, under stress it is written her), although pronounced [o], in the following cases:

1) at the endings of verbs, for example: you burn, bake, flow;

2) in a verbal suffix -yova: to shade, to demarcate;

3) in the suffix of verbal nouns: - ëvk: demarcation;

4) in the suffix of nouns -er: conductor, trainee;

5) in the suffix of passive participles -yonn, -yon (completed, shortened; completed, shortened), verbal adjectives -yon (stewed, smoked), as well as in derivative words (stew, smoked meats);

6) in the prepositional case of the pronoun what: about what, on what, and also in words Moreover, it doesn’t matter.

Vowels after lettersts

Consonant ts in Russian it is always hard, so after it it sounds and is written A(Not i), u(Not Yu), and only in foreign-language surnames and geographical names are there sometimes deviations from this rule (Kotsyubinsky, Tsyavlovsky, Zurich).

However, according to tradition, after ts it's nice to write e(Not e), although after a hard consonant one hears [e].

Depending on the stress in the word, vowels o e after ts can alternate, and then, in accordance with the pronunciation under stress, we write about in an unstressed syllable e. For example: dance dancer, base, gun, window.

In some borrowed words O also written in an unstressed syllable under the influence of the source language (duke, mezzo, scherzo).

The rules for spelling vowels are based on different principles of spelling yy after ts in roots, suffixes and endings of words.

Under the influence of tradition, contrary to pronunciation, in the roots of words after ts is written and (quote, figure). This spelling highlights predominantly words borrowed from the Russian language, the spelling of which is influenced by their spelling in the source language. Original Russian words do not obey this rule. chick, chick, tiptoe and the word Gypsy,a also derived from them: gypsy, tut, chick and so on.

In endings and suffixes after ts is written s(Not And) according to pronunciation, for example: fathers, paleface, sisters(although there may be exceptions to the spelling of surnames in documents (cf.: Sinitsyn, Yeltsin).

Lettersyy after consoles

1. After a prefix ending in a consonant, instead of And let's write s according to pronunciation: play play, play; search, find, find.

Note. This rule does not apply to compound words: pedagogical institute, sports equipment, in a word charge is written And according to pronunciation.

2. After consoles inter- And above- at the beginning of the root it is preserved and, since it is not written after sibilants and back-linguals s: inter-institutional, ultra-refined.

3. Saved And also after foreign language prefixes and particles counter-, sub-, trans-, pan- and etc.: counter-play, sub-inspector, Transjordanian, pan-Islamism.

The theme of unstressed vowels at the root of a word, verified by stress, runs throughout the entire school in the Russian language program, regardless of the name of the educational complex. The student gets acquainted with the spelling of unstressed vowels and checking them in the first grade; in some teaching and learning systems, the root is studied already in the first grade, in others in the second. In any case, the child must learn to find and isolate this root, and to do this, you need to select a couple of related words and find their common part. Then we need to put stress in the word and emphasize the vowel, which we can check. Next, choose a related word in which the emphasis will fall on this vowel.

Teacher's comments on the material being studied

Possible difficulties

Good advice

It is difficult to find a test word for an unstressed root because it has fallen out of active use.

N..nie fields - nag (that is, not dressed).

It is difficult to find a test word for an unstressed root because the meanings of the roots currently differ in meaning.

Pros..fuck - chill.

Obsession - fuck.

In this case, you have to rely on your reading and linguistic intuition. If you doubt them, refer to List 1.

The vowel in a word can be checked with different stressed roots.

To develop - to evolve, to evolve.

Start - sing, drink.

Pay attention to the meaning of the root (it is easy to recognize from the context). Choose a test word that is close in meaning. If you find it difficult to do this, refer to list 2.

For the same unstressed root, it is sometimes possible to select two test words of the same root with different stressed vowels.

G..head - heads, two-headed.

City..rodskoy - city, city.

Sat down - sit down, sitting.

Scattered...saved - threw, scatters.

Most likely, you are faced with the phenomenon of full agreement and disagreement. Do not check roots with full vowel combinations –olo- and –oro- and cognates with partial vowel combinations –la- and –ra-.

Pay special attention to the insidious root –sid- / -sed-. Remember the spelling of words with this root:

sit, sit, sit up (sitting),

but: saddle, meeting, chairman (sEl).

The unstressed vowel O in the roots of perfective verbs cannot be checked by imperfective forms. - yat, - yat:
look... third - see(verb considers is not a test word).

It's hard to remember exception words. Sometimes it is not possible to remember which vowel to write in a given exception word.

Think of exceptions as dictionary words. Remember them separately from the rules. To make it easier to remember, refer to List 3. Insert letters instead of ellipses.

It is possible to mistakenly attribute the spelling “Unstressed vowel in the root, verified by stress” to a word with an alternating root and vice versa.

Example of misinterpretation:

rostock - an unstressed vowel at the root is verified by the word podros.

Distinguish between roots that are tested by stress and roots that have vowel alternation.

An example of a correct interpretation:

Rostok - we have before us an exception to the spelling “Alternation of vowels in the root -rast- (-rasch-) \ -ros-.”

Difficulties arise when interpreting the meanings of words with the roots –equal- and –equal-.

Does trimming your hair mean making it the same? Straight?

Both interpretations seem dubious.

Indeed, the rule cannot be directly applied to all cases with roots –equal- and –equal-. Remember the spelling of the words: level, level.

For a word with a dubious consonant, it is sometimes difficult to find a test word.

Raw(f\w)ka.

Varya(f\sh)ka.

If you cannot find a test word, refer to list 4.

You are unsure of spelling a word with a possible unpronounceable consonant.

Refer to list 5.

In some words with the same root, either a double consonant or a single consonant is written in the root (tone, but three-tone).

Foreign roots in some Russian words lose the double consonant. Please note the following cases:

tonna - three-ton, five-ton, etc.,

column - column,

grammar - literacy,

crystall, crystall - crystal.

Also, do not confuse two similar roots: -ball- (at the ball, ball gown) and –ball- (five-point storm, the highest score).

In some borrowed words, after a consonant or vowel, instead of the letter E, the letter E is written. How to distinguish such words?

S...sia, strength...t, ma...stro, pro...ct.

After consonants and after the vowel I, the letter E is usually written in such words.

The exception is the word project, the spelling of which must be remembered.

Unstressed vowels in the root, verified by stress

Foundation; distribute; shut up; enlightenment.

be late - you can’t check with a word be late;

cut - cannot be verified with words cut out.

Equipment - tackle.

Spread - space.

Protracted - protracted.

Enlightenment is light.

Alternating vowels in the root

In roots with alternating vowels, the unstressed vowel is checked not by stress, but by special rules. These roots can be grouped into four groups.

What determines the spelling of the root vowel:

from stress

from the following consonant

on the presence or absence of a suffix -A-

from the root value

roots:
-zar-
-float-
-mountain-
-clone-
-creation-
-chin-
-min-
-press-

Tv..rit; start..start; zag..rel; for nothing; z..mother; float..wok; remember; press..small

In these roots, different vowels can be sounded and written under stress (for example, dawn, glow; incline, bow, etc.).

In the unstressed position, the following variants of roots are written in them:

Wonderful - miracles.

Napkin - napkin.

Spelling Dictionary Words

Words whose spelling is not regulated by a spelling rule are called dictionary words.

S..ren, intelligent.., v..hall, pa..passenger.

Dictionary words are also written according to the spelling norm. This norm was established not according to one rule or another, but specifically for a given word. It is reflected in the spelling dictionary.

The school course requires knowledge of a certain minimum of vocabulary words that are included in the school spelling dictionary. In addition, the required minimum vocabulary words that should be memorized are located at the end of each school textbook on the Russian language.

Lilac, intelligentsia, train station, passenger.

Rule

As a general rule spelling of unstressed vowels In all words with the same root, the same vowels are written at the root.

You can check an unstressed letter by stress. To do this, you need to choose a single-root word in which the desired vowel will be stressed. The stressed letter is clearly audible, and you will have no doubts. If it is impossible to find such a word, you have before you an untestable unstressed vowel that you need to remember.

Examples

TO A current - k A tit.

M O current - us O tka (we do not check with a verb with -yva: to wind).

P e vec - p e t.

Fri e nets - fri e nchik.

Tr I sit - tr I ska.

History of the rule

For the first time, Mikhail Lomonosov drew attention to vowels in roots in Russian Grammar. But they did not formulate the rule. Developing Lomonosov's thought, the authors of the following textbooks are already formulating a semblance of a rule. Like this:

In general, writing some words with unstressed vowels was considered “obscene”, but there is no rule yet.

Nikolai Grech has already proposed checking unstressed vowels with stressed ones in words of the same root, but he also does not yet have a single rule: he devotes a separate paragraph to each pair of vowels that can be confused.

But over 100 years the formulation has been perfected.

There is not much debate about the rule about unstressed vowels. Everyone understands it, everyone likes it. But it is precisely this rule that causes most of the mistakes.

What to pay attention to

  • In no case don't check with stress vowels in roots with vowel alternation.
  • Don't check with accent words with full vowel have the same root with a “dropped” vowel. For example, in the word h olo That we write the letter combination OLO, although there is a word evil A That.
  • When establishing the spelling o or a in unstressed roots of verbs should not be taken into account imperfect forms of -yat (-iv) with stressed a, for example: T O ptal, because T O pchet (although you A ptyval), m O lie, m O they are talking, because m O lcha (although the mind A hide).
  • When choosing a word with the same root, remember the lexical meaning of the root. There are many similar and even almost identical roots that have different meanings and different vowels. For example, approx. e tear clothes(we check with a word approx. e rka), approx. And five friends(we check with a word m And R), mind And army and mind e howl(alternating mer-world depends on the suffix A, cannot be checked by accent).
There is a special course on our website that will help you make the selection of test words automatic. View course

2.3.1. Spelling of unstressed vowels in the root

Rule Examples
1. In an unstressed position, the letter that is written in the same syllable when it is under stress is used. To thunder is cumbersome, to imagine, an image is an example, to irritate is to tease, to beg is to beg, to belittle is small.
2. If e is written under stress, then e is written without stress in the same syllable. Scratch - slash, motley - smear, solid - stop blush.
3. In words of Old Church Slavonic origin, in an unstressed position, an incomplete vowel combination is written with one vowel a-ra, la; in parallel native Russian words a full-vowel combination with two vowels is written o-oro, olo. Br A hello - b o ro zda, region A co - about oh lo wow, wow A waiting - x oh lo d, look A s - g oh lo s, ogre A yes - og o ro die, ch A va - g oh lo va, abbr. A forgive - to o ro soft
4. If the spelling of a vowel in an unstressed position cannot be checked by the stressed position, then the spelling of the vowel must be remembered (or checked its spelling in a dictionary). Object, obsession, but aroma, panorama, labyrinth, lottery, concrete, saucepan, privilege, these kets.

Note!

1) Word to the line is the same root as the word up to l; word teacher A vatel- with the word give; words overcome, overcome- with the word C to A.

2) Nouns company And company vary in meaning.

TO and the company- 1. “The totality of military operations; war in a certain period" ( military campaign, Russian-Japanese campaign); 2. “Events, activities” ( election campaign, sowing campaign).
TO about the company- 1. “Society, a group of people spending time together” (friendly company); 2. “Commercial or industrial enterprise” (cf.: steel company).

3) The vowels o-a in the roots of verbs cannot be checked using the imperfective form na -yat (-ivat), cf.: rasko let - rask A bark, talk - talk A rip.

4) In some borrowed words with a suffix that stood out in the past, the spelling of an unstressed vowel cannot be checked with a word of the same root if the vowel being checked and the vowel being checked belong to suffixes of different origins, cf.:

intellect ct. intelligent gent,
accompaniment. accompany
lead r. to lead,
trainer. train,
subscription subscribe,
disinfection. disinfect.

At the same time, according to tradition, in many words after hard consonants and after vowels (where there is no sound [j]) e is also written, not e.

When choosing a vowel, you should use the following rules:

Written E It's written E
1. In foreign words after a consonant, for example: muffler, stand, lady, dandy, Mary. 1. After consonants in some foreign words: mayor, sir, peer and derivatives from them ( mayor's office, peerage), in some proper names: Bacon, Bela, Ulan-Ude.
2. After a vowel and, for example: diet, requiem, caries. 2. After vowels (except and), in accordance with pronunciation, e is written, for example: silhouette, poetry, duet.
3. In words: project, projection, register, extravaganza. 3. At the beginning of a word, in accordance with pronunciation, it is written e ( this, exam, floor, economics) and their derivatives ( exam, save).
