The work-worn phrases: double reality in the primaries of the Russian emigration of the early 1920s

Textbooks prepared and published by the Russian emigration of the first wave are considered in the article from the point of view of the composition of the first phrases placed in their alphabet parts before the transition to small plot reading stories. The corpus of these phrases shows not only the open and hidden curriculum, that is, what the compilers wanted and what they did not want to teach the children as the meanings of the first studied sentences in their native language. Their structure and sequence, frequency of the subjects and events affected in them allow to see and investigate that "third curriculum" which unconsciously included in textbooks and owing to reflection in language of perception of daily life of the adults and children thrown out on a foreign land from the homeland, which in the same foreign land had been turned. The study of 16 manuals published in Latvia, Estonia, Germany, the Czech Republic and Poland, leads to a conclusion about the significant differences of this curriculum from the Russian textbooks of the 1890s-1910s and from the Soviet textbooks of the 1920s.
