Abstract

The main purpose of the study is to consider the three main components of language communication. When mastering many sign-forming means of a foreign language (not only written, but also sound), their description may be useful; as a result of mastering a group of structures, it is sometimes advisable to give a descriptive summary of what has been mastered. Structures that are fundamentally different from the structures of the native language deserve special attention. The article formulates the prerequisites that actualize the question of the auxiliary function of descriptive grammar. Special attention is paid to the division of signs into ready-made and new ones. The study emphasizes the purely auxiliary function of descriptive grammar, which can never, under any circumstances, become the main tool for mastering the sign-forming means of language. It is also appropriate to emphasize that the role of grammar in school teaching of a foreign language is characterized here with the utmost clarity, the formation of new signs with its help. It is the physical reproduction of new or ready-made signs (in a sound language or in writing) that is of paramount importance, being inextricably linked with the first two components of communication and complementing them. The mere mechanical ability to correctly articulate sounds or write letters does not yet provide the proper level of message transmission. It is achieved only by simultaneous development and complete fusion of all three aspects of activity in this phase of language communication.
