Abstract
Aim. To establish similarities and differences in nominal categories in Russian and French in comparative terms, as well as to identify similarities and discrepancies in the use of linguistic means of expression of these categories.
Methodology. To identify the similarities and differences between the linguistic means of the categories of grammatical gender and number of the languages being compared, the comparative method was used as the main one, the method of continuous sampling was used in the formation of the factual material corpus, as well as description and interpretation of the comparison results, analysis and synthesis of various viewpoints on the nature of these grammatical categories, semantic analysis in the interpretation of factual material.
Results. The discrepancies and similarities of the compared languages by nominal categories, as well as the means of linguistic expression of these categories, have been identified and established. The morphological structure of nouns in Russian is much more complex than in French. This corresponds to a greater variety of grammatical expression means.
Research implications. The analysis conducted is significant and relevant for the comparative study of two languages in the issue of nominal categories and their linguistic expression. The practical value of the research lies in the possibility of using the results obtained in the development of lecture and practical courses on comparative linguistics, as well as the theory and practice of teaching French and Russian languages at the undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate levels in the disciplines of theoretical grammar and comparative typology.
