Theoretical basis for the study of adjectives with the meaning of color in the framework of Russian as a foreign language

The article examines the theoretical foundations of studying adjectives denoting color in the Russian language within the framework of teaching Russian as a foreign language. The paper analyzes the lexico-grammatical, morphological, syntactic, and semantic features of color-denoting adjectives, as well as their polysemy, emotional and stylistic connotations, and functioning in fixed expressions. Special attention is paid to the difficulties encountered by foreign learners in mastering this category and to the methodological aspects of teaching it. The study demonstrates that color adjectives constitute an important element of the linguistic worldview and are characterized by a high frequency of use in various types of texts. The main word-formation models of color-denoting adjectives are examined, along with the distinctions between basic colors and shade denominations and the specific features of their use in literal and figurative meanings. Particular emphasis is placed on the role of cultural and national-linguistic factors in shaping the meanings of color adjectives, which is of considerable importance for teaching Russian as a foreign language.
