Selection of precedent poetic works for the development of Turkish-language linguosociocultural competence in reading

The article is devoted to the problem of selecting precedent poetic works for the formation of Turkish-language linguosociocultural competence in reading. It is determined that a precedent poetic work serves as a carrier of linguistic and extralinguistic culturally marked information and is capable of forming extralinguistic knowledge, linguosociocultural skills and abilities, as well as analytical and interpretative skills. The article describes the difficulties thatarise when reading a precedent poetic work: subject-related (associated with extralinguistic knowledge necessary for understanding the content of the work), logical (related to the presence of implicit information in the work, the logic of composition, and the presence of stylistic figures in the poetic work), linguistic and speech-related difficulties (caused by a lack of proficiency in the linguistic means of the work, as well as underdeveloped lexical and grammatical skills in students), presuppositional difficulties (insufficient background knowledge related to the poetic work—its creation history, the author’s intent, worldview, spiritual values of the people), and operational difficulties (insufficiently developed analytical and interpretative skills). Based on the criteria of informativeness, text volume, purposefulness, authenticity, textuality, and precedent nature, it is established that the selection should include authentic poetic works (or fragments of poetic works that exhibit textuality), with a length of 2,500–3,000 characters, whose content and linguisticcomposition can meet the programmatic requirements for teaching Turkish to philology students; works that contain one of the types of culturally marked information—factual, subtextual, emotive-evaluative—as well as culturally marked linguistic units (symbolic words, artistic tropes); works that possess the features of precedent nature—canonical status and cultural reinterpretation.
