Abstract
The article is devoted to the description of violations of gender coordination between subject-nounsand different types of predicates found in Russian texts of Kazakh students. The purpose of the article isto identify typical deviations and establish the factors that cause them. The source of the material was theKazakh subcorpus of the Russian Learner Corpus (www.web-corpora.net/RLC). Examples of coordinationdisorders were extracted using the AgrGender tag, which marks various facts of violation of gendercoordination in the corpus, then, in accordance with the tasks set, these examples were classified, selectedand statistically processed. It is argued that violations of gender coordination are not accidental:they are explained by the complexity of mastering the strategy of coordination in effect in the Russianlanguage, and the formal nature of the category of grammatical gender. The article describes cases ofviolation of coordination of subjects with verb and nominal parts of predicates under the influence ofinanimate nouns, expansion of the strategy of semantic agreement, incorrect choice of the agreementcontroller, distant location of subjects and predicates, etc. In general, violations of coordination differfrom violations of agreement in attributive phrases. A corpus analysis of gender coordination disordersin Russian texts of Kazakh students can be interesting both from the point of bilingualism view researchand from the standpoint of teaching Russian as a non-native language.Key words: Russian, Russian Learner Corpus, gender coordination, Kazakh-Russian bilingualism,written text.
