Specifics of using the pronoun svoy in the context of teaching Russian as a foreign language

The aim of the article is to investigate the specific functioning of the pronoun svoy (own), which in most cases has no analogues in other languages, namely the semantic, grammatical and pragmatic features of the lexeme in the context of teaching Russian as a foreign language. The need for a systematic review of this category is determined by the existence of mistakes and doubts of both foreigners and native speakers of the Russian language when using the reflexive possessive pronoun. The article analyzes the techniques and stages of introducing language material aimed at learning the rules of using the pronoun svoy through the examples of various textbooks for teaching Russian as a foreign language. The practical value of the article is in presenting recommendations for using the lexeme svoy: the author draws conclusions about when it is possible or impossible to replace it with the possessive pronouns my, your, etc., and notes the limited syntactic functions of the pronoun svoy in connection with the polysemy of the lexeme and the conditions of the speech act.
