The paper describes theoretical grounds of a new concept for parts-of-speech differentiation in Chinese developed by the renowned Chinese linguist Yuan Yulin. On the basis of Yuan Yulin’s theory, the authors analyze lexical units that are traditionally called directives, but are marked in the majority of Chinese textbooks used in Russia as nouns. The main result of this analysis is the finding that it is possible to make certain marks in new word lists in Chinese textbooks used in Russia for special parts of speech that do not exist in Russian like directives and locatives. The authors consider that these marks to a certain extent can make the process of learning the lexical units of the two above-mentioned categories easier for Russian students.
