Russian dictation dictator. What is “Total Dictation” and who will read it? Who invented "Total dictation"

May 14, 2018 years will pass international action called " Total dictation”, aimed at testing the level of Russian language proficiency. This year the total dictation will be held for the fifteenth time. Famous Russian stars will take part.

Total dictation 2018 who reads the text: history and general information

The project originated in 2014 as an action of the Novosibirsk state university for students of humanitarian orientation. Today, about seventy countries take part in it. Last year, more than two hundred thousand people in 866 cities wrote voluntary dictation in Russian. In 2018, the Tallinn venue where the action took place became one of the largest in the world, attracting three thousand people. Previously, we took texts from such authors as Alexey Ivanov, Dina Rubina, Boris Strugatsky, Zakhar Prilepin and many others.

Total dictation 2018 who reads the text: what changes will happen this year

This year, in order to make the process more interesting, it was decided to choose the capital of the “Total Dictation” based on popular vote. At the conference in Novosibirsk, one of the five winning cities is selected in which the live event will take place. The winner was the city of Tallinn.

There will be three platforms, two of which will feature star dictators. Dima Bilan will read for a young audience, and Viktor Sukhorukov for an older generation. The third site will be located at Tallinn University. This is made for those people who need a calm environment. The speaker is a philologist, reports the 1rre website. Dima writes that despite the fact that he himself does not shine perfect knowledge in grammar, and would probably make a certain number of mistakes, he places punctuation marks correctly following his intuition. He already has similar experience, which can be referred to. The artist promises to try to read in an even voice and not to use his artistic abilities, but he is not at all averse to giving a little hint with the help of facial expressions. As for Viktor Sukhodorov, he was pleased with the venue, since this is exactly the venue where he once received an award for best acting in an Estonian film.

Total dictation 2018 who reads the text: a work from which a fragment and a short biography of the author will be taken

The text will be taken from Guzel Yakhina’s novel “My Children”. The work is dedicated to fate Volga Germans. See it on the shelves bookstores It will be possible in May. Guzel was born in Kazan in 1977. Studied in Kazan national university to become a teacher and graduated from film school in Moscow. What made her famous as a writer was the novel “Zuleikha Opens Her Eyes,” for which she received three awards: “Book of the Year,” Big Book" And " Yasnaya Polyana" This year, Yakhina is going to read in Vladivostok on the day of the action, and earlier come to Tallinn to show respect to the capital of Estonia.

On April 18, 2015, I found myself on a bench among an impressive crowd, with a blank form in my hands and a slight excitement in my soul. On this day, the Total Dictation was written in 500 cities of Russia and the world.

The organizers of the event did everything to ensure that those wishing to test their own literacy did not have unpleasant associations with strict school rules. The atmosphere in the auditorium of the ZIL plant was most favorable. Before the start of the dictation, we were shown a funny video from “Hobosti” about FSB agents and the total illiteracy of the population.

“More than a million soft characters a year suffer from misspellings of the word “like.” More than three hundred thousand “O”s are captured by the non-existent word “cute”. Almost two hundred thousand Russian citizens are looking for last-minute tours to “Thailand”, not suspecting that there is no such country at all…” the announcers lamented.

We filled out the forms together, signed some with names, some with pseudonyms, and came up with a code word so that we could then independently check ourselves on the site. “You can cross out the rating box,” the announcer said. “Then you will only know the number of errors, and no mark will be given.” And then the following message appeared at the bottom of the screen: “We strongly do not recommend crossing out the rating field. Only do this if you are very scared."

Then we repeated one of the rules of grammar and became familiar with the spelling and meaning of some words: “fire chief”, “imperial”, “ruler” (meaning “crew”). And finally, we listened to the text of the dictation itself, performed by its author, the laureate “ Big book» Evgenia Vodolazkina. The hall fell silent and concentrated; Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed that some of my neighbors were fussily buzzing with their smartphones.

And now our dictator appears on the stage. This is exactly (believe it or not) the name of a person who reads a dictation. In our case, this is Mikhail Kozyrev.

“Hello everyone,” Kozyrev says from the stage. - I am the person who will read you the text of the Total Dictation today. And I’m also the only person in this audience who has a total cold.

And, sneezing in confirmation own words, our dictator begins dictation. We quickly stop laughing, but then we start again, and with redoubled force - now as a defensive reaction.

“...And now, along the seething Nevsky, in the resulting emptiness, a chariot is rushing, carrying fire fighters: they are sitting on a long bench, with their backs to each other, in copper helmets, and the banner of the fire department flutters above them; there is a fire chief at the banner, he is ringing the bell.”

What have I done with my life, I think in between placing endless punctuation marks. Seven years of philology, Rosenthal, Krongauz, Nabokov, finally - you were there, you were definitely always somewhere nearby! Where are you, my so-called innate literacy? I used to be able to write two versions of a word or construction on a draft, and then just see which of the two was correct. So where is all this, where did it go, when did it do this, can it be returned? And how, by the way, do you spell “half-turn”?

“I’m crying, and my mother tells me not to be afraid...”

“I’m crying,” Kozyrev repeats and pauses. Hall, tearing nervous tension, everyone roars with laughter. And, of course, she cries too.

There’s probably no need to explain what Total Dictation is. Over the 11 years of its existence, the event has grown to enormous proportions, turning from local entertainment for Novosibirsk humanities students into a national show.

The growth dynamics are explosive: 2009 - 600 people, 2014 - 64,000. Awards, recognition. Superstars are invited to read the dictation - from professors to rappers; this year in St. Petersburg, among others, the text was voiced by a robot. And the authors of the texts themselves! Not names - music: Strugatsky, Bykov, Prilepin, Rubina, Ivanov; in 2015 - laureate of the “Big Book” Evgeniy Vodolazkin.

But the best part is no big names, and the principles of the action. Total dictation: a) free, b) voluntary, c) available to everyone (“no one can be denied participation in the Total dictation because of his age, gender, sexual orientation, citizenship, nationality or level of Russian language proficiency,” unless the organizers forgot to mention religious affiliation on the website). And most importantly, there are no bonuses for writing a dictation. All that participants can get is moral satisfaction, pleasure in the process and assessment of their own literacy. The more surprising is the number of people who want to test themselves.

Today is April 20th, estimates will only be available the day after tomorrow. While I don’t yet know my score and don’t have to be afraid of accusations of bias, I’ll express seditious thought: Of course, calling Total Dictation a real test of literacy is incorrect. This is by no means a universal test - even the universally hated Unified State Exam allows you to get much more objective results. The text of the dictation is deliberately tricky: Vodolazkin himself even said in an interview that the original version seemed too simple to the organizers. And in ordinary life even the lucky owners of “2s” may well turn out to be exceptionally literate people.

But the point is that it doesn't matter at all.

We are not going to Total Dictation for the sake of a real assessment of literacy. We go there because passing tests is always interesting. Because it is available to everyone cultural event- is not such a common phenomenon in our country, and it is simply wrong to miss it.

Because in this audience everyone is equal - there is no division either by political principle, or by level of education, or by the notorious sexual orientation. Blessed communism in a single space - where else will you see this?

And maybe we are also going there because we all managed to miss our school days a little.

How to write a Total Dictation with an A, “dangerous” words that will be in the text and tips from excellent students - read the guide from Likes journalists

For all lovers of the great and mighty, who miss school lessons or those seeking to maintain their literacy at the proper level, we hasten to inform you: on April 14 at 13:00 a Total Dictation will be held in Ufa.

No, no, you don’t need to get double leaves, the action is voluntary, free and only promotes a love of language. The All-Russian, (almost worldwide) literacy test annually brings together thousands of willing people from different cities and countries that write Total Dictation in the Russian language.

Traditionally, the event takes place at the same time, adjusted for time zones, and the original, previously unpublished text for the Total Dictation is written by a famous writer specially invited for this purpose. This year the choice fell on Guzel Yakhina, the author of the acclaimed book “Zuleikha Opens Her Eyes.” According to the writer, the text will be dedicated to one day in the life of a village literature teacher named Bach.

Who is participating

If you are reading this article and know how to take dictation, welcome to Total Dictation. There is no discrimination, restrictions or special division: anyone can write a dictation, regardless of age, gender, education, religion, profession or interests.

How to participate

You can write a Total Dictation in 2 ways:

In Ufa, the event will be held at 27 sites for Total Dictation and 2 for TruD - special test for people learning Russian as a foreign language. Among the invited readers (they are also called dictators) are professors, teachers and media personalities.

If you have no one to leave your child with, but really want to test his literacy, come to sites where you can leave your child: while you are writing a dictation, animators and teachers will take over.

If you do not have the opportunity to come to one of the sites, do not rush to be upset: you can write a dictation online on the website. Broadcasts will be available at 8:00, 11:00 and 14:00 Moscow time. Connect to any of the broadcasts, write a dictation in a special window and click the “check” button - the score will appear in personal account over time.

In both cases, registration is required on the official website, it is open from April 4. Go to the website, open the page with the city of Ufa, select the site that suits you, click the “register” button and follow the simple instructions.

You can also find out your result on the website: enter your full name and code word (as on the form that will be given during the dictation itself). Each work is checked by philologists, and analysis of participants’ mistakes helps in writing scientific works in the field of modern Russian language. The grading system is the same as in school, you can see in the picture.


How to prepare for a dictation

Those who have been familiar with the campaign for several years have long been aware: Total dictation is preceded by courses. Like the event itself, they are free, voluntary and held once a week for everyone who wants to brush up on the rules of the language. In 2018, courses were held on Wednesdays from February 21, the last “lesson” was last Wednesday, April 4 at 18:30 at scientific library BSMU.

Despite the fact that there are several days before the dictation, there is a way out.

Even in such a short period of time, you can improve your literacy.

All on the same official website of the Total Dictation, anyone can access the materials of full-time courses plus an online school. Besides detailed analysis rules, Total texts of previous years are also presented, including TruD - for people learning Russian as a foreign language. Along with repeating the rules, you can familiarize yourself with dictations, analyze difficult places and common mistakes.

And this item is for the very lazy and busy. What basic rules need to be repeated (or skimmed)?

vowel spelling;
“not” and “nor” with parts of speech;
one and two “n”;
derived prepositions;
punctuation marks: isolation and emphasis of phrases;
formatting direct speech and quotes (the most common mistake!).

Bonuses for readers

If you have read this far, receive a small gift: difficult words that will appear in the text this year.

Platband, front garden, recite, zenith, somnambulist, dial, rogue, pelvis, interspersed, interspersed.

Advice from experienced “totalers” comes down to what seems to be very simple rules– read more and love the Russian language.

You can also start writing yourself (if you’ve never written before) - on your desk, in blogs, on a sticky note on your refrigerator. But a universal recipe as old as time is to read as often as possible fiction. One recipe, but many advantages: expansion vocabulary, training attentiveness, memory, rich speech and, most importantly, competent language.

What's the point?

Check your literacy. Total dictation is not just another way to remember school years and hang labels (excellent student, C student and loser). Receiving an A, B, or C is not a mark, but adequate way evaluate your capabilities to improve and figure out what to work on. For some, this is a way to awaken a dormant interest in the Russian language, for others, it is to pat themselves on the head and strengthen their own knowledge.

No gingerbread, no gold medals and applause for straight A's, just another way to make sure that this is not just normal, it is necessary, possible and important, being literate is fashionable.

Tips for Newbies

Lidiya Germanova: Just go on an adventure! Don't think about the results, just remember your school years, fall back into childhood. Read your favorite book in a week, then your brain will definitely remember exactly the words you need!

Denis Yamgulov: My advice is not to repeat the rules of the Russian language, especially chaotically, especially on the eve of a dictation. Relax and don’t make yourself too important, it’s just an assessment. Be patient while waiting for results and don’t scold yourself if something happens. Read more in everyday life. All.

Aigul Davletova: Arrive early to get a closer seat. A lucky hand will not add to your knowledge, and you won’t be able to re-read all the rules. But if a person goes specifically to write for the result, then it makes sense to go to training courses, they begin to be taught in about two months.

This year “Total Dictation” will be held in 552 cities. The number of countries that joined the action has reached 52. The list of dictation locations can be viewed on the website.

Participants will gather at more than 350 sites to test their literacy. the site talks about the largest educational campaign in the country and remembers who the “Eilens” are, why “gods for a while” and how “sorrow and amber” were made from sports equipment.

On April 8, a Russian language marathon is taking place all over the world: total dictation is being written in more than 800 cities in 68 countries. Last year, 148 thousand people took part. Among them were 14.5 thousand Muscovites, and this year the organizers are expecting about 30 thousand people.

From a small event at Novosibirsk University, “Total Dictation” has turned into the world’s largest project to popularize the Russian language. He visited Antarctic stations, on board the Novosibirsk-Moscow plane, on the sailboats "Kruzenshtern" and "Pallada", in the Kungur cave, under water and on the International space station. And this year the action captured not only schools, universities and libraries, but also airports, trains, stations, hydroelectric power stations and even a tourist tent, tent and ice cave.

“City and River” - total dictation by Leonid Yuzefovich

At first, materials for dictation were taken from classical works, and since 2010 they have been written specifically. IN different years the texts were prepared by Boris Strugatsky, Dmitry Bykov, Zakhar Prilepin, Dina Rubina, Alexey Ivanov, Evgeny Vodolazkin and Andrey Usachev.

This time the author was a writer, screenwriter, candidate historical sciences Leonid Yuzefovich. He called his dictation “City and River.” “These are small essays about three cities with which my life is connected, and about the rivers on which these cities stand. This is my hometown Perm in the Urals, this is the city where I spent my youth and where I was once an officer - Ulan-Ude and Selenga in Transbaikalia. And the third city is the city where I live now. These are St. Petersburg and the Neva,” said the writer.

Leonid Yuzefovich did not want to write journalism. His texts turned out to be very personal, dictated not by thought, but by feeling. And they were easy to write. The most difficult thing for the writer was to keep it to about 250 words.

Star "dictators"

Total dictation read famous artists, journalists, political and public figures. They are called "dictators". Among them over the years were commentator Vasily Utkin, journalist Vladimir Pozner, TV presenter Yana Churikova, announcer Igor Kirillov, former State Duma speaker Sergei Naryshkin, singer Dima Bilan, actors Konstantin Khabensky, Sergei Bezrukov and Leonid Yarmolnik. The latter read the text in 2016 at the largest venue - in the Tallinn ice hall "Tondiraba", which attracted 2.3 thousand people. This year the artist will go to Strasbourg.

And for Muscovites, actress Svetlana Kryuchkova, director Mark Rozovsky, presenter Maxim Galkin, sports commentator Georgy Cherdantsev, saxophonist Igor Butman, stylist Vlad Lisovets, linguist Maxim Krongauz, the Underwood group, rap artist Noize MC and other star “dictators” are waiting for Muscovites.

The homeland of the project, Novosibirsk, has prepared a surprise for the participants. This year at one of the sites a robot will become a dictator. After the event, he will take a photo with the participants, although he will not be able to give an autograph - he has no hands.



Easy or difficult: the mystery of total dictation

Texts for total dictation are more difficult than school texts: unlike educational texts, they are not adapted. But the very question of the difficulty of dictations is a mystery of riddles for linguists. Last year I wrote the text children's writer Andrey Usachev. “We thought it would be easy and relaxed. It seems like a simple syntax. No, some places turned out to be difficult for our participants,” said Maria Rovinskaya, organizer of the action in Moscow. Leonid Yarmolnik, who read this dictation in Tallinn last year, found it difficult and suggested that he would receive a stake for his work.

But it happens the other way around: linguists find the text difficult, but writers find it easier. For the organizers, each dictation evokes courage. What errors will there be? How will participants solve punctuation problems in cases that are not described in reference books at all?

Score in favor of the writer, or Let's not put the comma in an awkward position

Participants often complain that it is difficult to guess how exactly the writer placed punctuation marks. What if the rating is lowered? Maria Rovinskaya reassured the writers: “We consider as a legitimate, permitted option for the placement of punctuation marks any option that is not directly prohibited by codifying sources.” For example, in the text by Evgeny Vodolazkin (2015) there was a sentence in which correct options There were 56 punctuation marks. And all of them were taken into account as correct.

What is declared as an error is an absolute error

Of course, there is a standard author’s text, but there are still a hundred options for how it can look correct in other punctuation. “Our task is not to punish or laugh by saying: “Look how you write incorrectly.” Our task is to show people that learning the Russian language at school does not end. The situation with the Russian language is unique in this sense. There is no other subject in which an “A” in school gives you the illusion that you know everything,” explained Maria Rovinskaya.

What the reviewer reports as an error is an absolute error. But many things are not taken into account at all when grading. These are, for example, signs at the end of a sentence (including at the end of the heading), quoted unfamiliar words, in some cases - capital letters. Two three difficult words put on a slide in front of the writers and errors are not counted.

Eilens, allavr, sorrow and amber: ridiculous dictation mistakes

Classically complex spellings - writing particles Not With in different parts speeches, n And nn, consoles pre- And at-. But there are also funny mistakes. In the 2016 dictation, ancient Hellenes turned into “Eilenes”, “Elens” and “Elvins” (probably, among the participants there were fans of the cartoon “Alvin and the Chipmunks”, linguists believe), sports equipment - into “sorrow and amber”.

The winners were awarded an “allavr,” which was “valued as a canopy of gold.”

One of the participants thought that the conversation would be about the Roman Cratius dynasty, and on the spot “Briefly about the history Olympic Games" he wrote "Cracia in the history of the Olympic Games." In another, the Hellenes advocated that the games should be held not annually, but “for animals,” in a third, the gods watched the competitions “not from the skies,” but “from the Celestial Empire.” There were also those whose winners were awarded an “allavr,” which was “valued as a canopy of gold.”

The meme of the Moscow inspection was the phrase about Igor. One of the participants approached the matter philosophically, and instead of “gods and those for the time of games” it turned out “Gods and those for a while, Igor.” Indeed, everything is transitory in this world.

How do you choose an author?

“We have the happiness of choosing the author whom we want to see first of all. Last year, I think many people know, there was a children's writer Andrei Usachev. The circumstances so happened that I became a mother last year, Natalya Borisovna (Professor, Head of the Department of General and Russian Linguistics, Novosibirsk State University Natalya Koshkareva. — Approx.mos. ru) I became a grandmother, and this is the children’s theme we played,” said Olga Rebkovets, project manager.

The goal of “Total Dictation” as a project to popularize the Russian language is to expand the literary horizons of the participants

It turns out, on the one hand, this is a subjective question. The organizers invite whoever they like. The author must not only have the desire to write a text, but also the opportunity to give interviews, attend press conferences, and read the text in Novosibirsk. Olga Rebkovets added: “On the other hand, we understand that the task of “Total Dictation” as, perhaps, the most global and mass project to popularize and promote the Russian language is to expand the literary horizons of our participants, to introduce them to truly good modern Russian literature.”

There are few requirements for the author: the text must be uniform in content, but easily divided into three parts (for different time zones). Each one contains about 250-300 words. “There is nothing special, a person decides everything himself, fantasizes how he would like the dictation to be,” explained Maria Rovinskaya. Authors are not given topics, which is why the texts turn out so different.

Why is total dictation needed: the view of the author, “dictator” and organizer

Why do people participate in total dictation? There is no correct answer to this question. Most likely, this is a challenge to yourself. Leonid Yarmolnik believes that those who come check whether they can write in Russian, and those who dictate check whether they can read Russian. “Perhaps this is one of the largest unifying events taking place in the country. There is a competitive element in it, which is very important for any proud person: he wants to prove to himself and to those around him that he graduated from school,” said the actor.

There is also a nice bonus - this year every excellent student will receive a dictionary as a gift. Gifts await those who support the rally in Moscow charitable foundation helping children with organic lesions central nervous system.

There are company participants who come to write dictations in entire teams - this is how the action becomes part of corporate culture. “This once again confirms our belief that literacy is a very important, very significant competence of any employee today,” explained Olga Rebkovets. She is sure that this is not a test, not difficult test, but a holiday of the Russian language.

The thought that the text I wrote will be written by 200 thousand people takes your breath away

What is total dictation for an author? Leonid Yuzefovich, winner of the Big Book and National Bestseller awards, considers participation in the project an honor. “In general, the very thought that the text that I composed will be written by 200 thousand people somehow, you know, takes your breath away. And it is very important for me that wonderful writers, whom I love very much, participated in this project. These are Zakhar Prilepin, Alexey Ivanov and Evgeny Vodolazkin. It’s a great honor for me to be on a par with them,” the author noted.

For linguists, dictation gives a lot of food for thought, for scientific research different types. For example, they compare what mistakes are made in Russia and abroad, what words are unfamiliar to the writers, what code words the participants write on forms. If everyone does the same thing punctuation error- this is a reason for specialists to think about whether it’s time to change the rule. “No one has ever had such a sample. We get it in one day,” added Maria Rovinskaya.

Language is a reflection of personality. Including written language when the person behind the letters is not visible, and we perceive him through signs. An illiterate interlocutor also loses his authority as an expert in some other field - it is no coincidence that many online discussions go through the linguistic stage of “learn to write first.” We present ourselves to the world through letters, so let's do it competently.
