Abstract

Aim. To review the phenomenon of linguistic economy, which is represented in the English language system, as the objective global tendency from the viewpoint of teaching English to Russian learners.
Methodology. Grammatical and lexical phenomena in the English language are discussed in terms of their correlation with similar phenomena in Russian regarding their semantic and functional characteristics. The English forms ending in -ing, which are considered as the representatives of polyfunctionality in the system of the English verb, are analyzed from the point of view of the difficulties the learners of English are confronted with. The deictic system is analyzed first and foremost at the level of articles, and the phenomenon of grammatical homonymy is subjected to a general analytical description in reference to the semantic structural properties of the English language system.
Results. The approach based on discussing linguistic economy as a global property of the English language system that has been objectively developed throughout its history, may serve as a basic principle of understanding the verbal representation processes as well as a successful language acquisition. The tendency for linguistic economy is determined by the structural and semantic specificity of the English language.
Research implications. The theoretical significance of the article lies in the development of the systemic interpretation of the phenomenon of linguistic economy as an objective property of the language, due to the specificity of its historical development and functional-semantic structure. The practical application is determined by applying the results and material under study in the process of learning English in a Russian-speaking audience, as well as in research practice.
